[IMC-bristol] meetings/me

[anarchist606 at hushmail.com]

I am also now also swayed by the arguments for a set time/place for meetings.
 How about the 15th of each month.

Venue - The County Sports Club does have a good and quiet upsairs room.
 But other suggestions are welcome - Hatchet?

For the sake of clarity - it was me (not anyone else) who has central
coloum-ed the Bristolain Party news on the (I think 2 or 3?) times it
has been done.  At the time there was a debate on the article about putting
this up and guidelines - which I'm happy to have again.  But it was not
Ian who did it.
