I'd make a suggestion for a meeting that wasn't a Saturday lunchtime.  =

The problem in Bangor, however, is that most of the pubs fill up with =

noisy students every evening, so there really aren't many alternative =

venues, although I know of at least one licenced caf=E9 that would open =

up for a reasonably sized group.

So, the suggestion to avoid one of these crowded evening pubs is ... a =

noisy Saturday Students' bar.  We might get about half an hour before =

the music starts, but I doubt if that would be quiet enough to have a =

group conversation.  And then the rather non-vegetarian food starts =

(I've never seen much point in burning vegetables on a grill), =

accompanied by music that's not to everyone's tastes (especially =

those over 35).

At least Bangor is nearby for me, and I'll not go much out of my way =

if I decide to cycle into Morrisons to do my weekly shopping on the =

Saturday rather than in the week.  So, I might turn up this time, =

assuming it isn't cancelled like the one in Llandudno Junction last =

month.
