<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I assume the Casa de Cranbourne option is off the table? :-)</DIV>
<DIV>Is the library at Casa de Kew a possibility?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
