[Churchofgaming] CoG on the move?

[Michael Cole]

The Church are determined to get rid of us, aren't they?  $20 I could have handled, $40 is getting a bit much.  Particularly if it is a week in which only four turn up, that's $10 each for not much in return.  Unless they are willing to change it to say something along the lines of $2 per person, I say we move.
 
I assume the Casa de Cranbourne option is off the table? :-)
Is the library at Casa de Kew a possibility?
 
With the other two options, I have no preference. Only issue I would have would be with parking - I don't know how it works on Sundays in terms of metering, but for me, it could be up to $10 for the day.
 
GL has its WebPage titled, "Magic the Gathering Melbourne", and it does only list casual play for Mondays and Tuesdays - probably want to check that.  GG does list some D&D stuff, including on Sundays.  Do both have room, and would they be willing to accept us?

I don't know how good these new places are, but if you think they are OK lev I trust your judgement. 

As such I vote for 2) move to games laboratory. Is actually closer to us than UC anyway. Also happy to move to GG, but I hear that is mostly a place for magic the gathering and not so much RPGs.

Cheers,

Felix

The Unitarian Church has established a new fee structure, apparently based
on a break-even structure.

The cost proposed to us is:

$20.00 per use for a period of up to 3 hours, whether one-off or regular use
$40.00 for a period over 3 hours, up to 7 hours, whether one-off or
regular use.

We're in that delightful level of having four-and-a-half hour meetings,
although apparently we could extend this to 7 at the same cost.

Also, we're expected to provide our own tea/coffee/milk :)

Other options, which are free, modern and central:

Games Laboratory
----------------
http://www.gameslaboratory.com.au/

Ground Floor, Galleria
385 Bourke St, Melbourne, VIC 3000

Open from 10am to 8pm (or later)

https://www.facebook.com/Games.Laboratory


Good Games
----------
http://www.goodgames.com.au/stores/Good-Games-Melbourne

Level 1, 365 Lonsdale Street

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Good-Games/50496067244


This gives us three options, which I we should vote on (with preferences).


1. Stay at the Unitarian Church
2. Move to Games Laboratory
3. Move to Good Games


We're familiar with the UC, so no need to elaborate too much on that. I've
scouted out the Laboratory and it looks pretty good. My opinion is that
the suggested fees don't really provide any tangible benefits for us in
comparison to the alternatives (although parking is probably easier - most
of the time).

Any other thoughts, options etc?
