The problem that all three venues have -- is that there is no enclosed, private area like there is at the WBH. I've had someone mention that the Edinburgh Castle may be worth a look though. Despite all the negatives listed above, the best thing about the WBH is the (two) private areas where you can hold a meeting. If anyone is interested in doing a (educational) pub crawl around Sydney to find a suitable location, let me know. Cheers, Anand -- `` We are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think.
