Re: [Dorset] In-person meetings
The Broadway will be showing Euro 2024 matches all this week, including the Scotland v Switzerland one (8pm), "bookings recommended". Probably not the quietest place to meet then. Anyone have comments about Ralph's suggestion of Wetherspoons Winton (quoted below)? It's easy enough to get to as far as I'm concerned, never been. Who is planning to go tomorrow? (I'm in.) Hamish -- it would definitely be worth starting a new email thread with a more explicit subject like "In-person meeting, 19th June" so that people with only half an eye on the mailing list might spot it.

At a previous discussion the Kings Arms at 252 Wallisdown Road * Dorset BH12 5BT * was mentioned as we used to meet there many years ago. It is fairly central.
