Hello, For anyone cycling to the City Tavern for the meeting tomorrow, you can put your bikes in the back yard of the pub (the landlord has given permission for this). The access to the yard is through a door/gate at the side of the pub on Tennant Street. This door is kept locked (from the street, but not from the inside), so it will be necessary to ask me or ask at the bar for it to be opened (though it could perhaps be kept open for a couple of minutes around 7pm for people arriving at that time). Bikes can be chained to a ladder in the yard for additional security.
