I think the downstairs room might be our best bet. Or failing that,
one of the other bars along that stretch.

I suspect/hope there are will be too many people for that again. The
BBC is great for smaller meet ups, but not so practical for the larger

Unfortunately, the room in question took quite a bit of sorting out,
what with the risk assessment forms, and did cost quite a bit of money
to hire :/
