Me neither but experience tells us that after we go back to the same
place three times, they often crank up the rate.  That's why we aren't
likely to be in Prague any time soon.

I would also like as much notice as possible but I understand that
venue negotiations are astonishingly complicated.  We have the further
problem of not being large enough to be a big meeting, while too big
to be a small meeting, which limits the range of venues we can use.
I mean, would we keep going to the Metropole if there were anywhere
else in London that would work?
