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

The Unitarian Church has established a new fee structure, apparently based<br>
on a break-even structure.<br>
<br>
The cost proposed to us is:<br>
<br>
$20.00 per use for a period of up to 3 hours, whether one-off or regular use<br>
$40.00 for a period over 3 hours, up to 7 hours, whether one-off or<br>
regular use.<br>
<br>
We're in that delightful level of having four-and-a-half hour meetings,<br>
although apparently we could extend this to 7 at the same cost.<br>
<br>
Also, we're expected to provide our own tea/coffee/milk :)<br>
<br>
Other options, which are free, modern and central:<br>
<br>
Games Laboratory<br>

This gives us three options, which I we should vote on (with preferences).<br>
<br>
<br>
1. Stay at the Unitarian Church<br>
2. Move to Games Laboratory<br>
3. Move to Good Games<br>
<br>
<br>
We're familiar with the UC, so no need to elaborate too much on that. I've<br>
scouted out the Laboratory and it looks pretty good. My opinion is that<br>
the suggested fees don't really provide any tangible benefits for us in<br>
comparison to the alternatives (although parking is probably easier - most<br>
of the time).<br>
<br>
Any other thoughts, options etc?<br>
