[OCLUG-Tech] AGM discussion -- location of meetings

The two topics that seem to have generated most response relating to the future of OCLUG are
 - specialist vs generalist meeting topics
 - location of meetings

The former is a perennial split, and there is likely no universal resolution, though it is
possible -- and definitely part of current Board's intention, but not always within our
abilities -- to provide some of each.

The latter requires availability. In an earlier post I mentioned previous sites (and
forgot OPL, where we had poor parking, tossed out before 9, but central). A central site
with good bus, good parking, and close to good roads (417) would be ideal. Is there
somewhere that won't cost us more than our donations cover?

The location is a compromise. Moreover, it is a very demanding task to organize.
The amount work involved in arranging place and speakers is one of the negatives of
serving, and made less attractive when attendance is low.
