[g8-sheffield] Next meeting? a list of alternatives..

[worldwarfree at riseup.net]

yes idd agree.. but the rutland has been booked.. and i guess that where people
expect it to be etc.. so to change it at this moment would i feel be a bad
time.. however to involve more muslims etc damm fine idea.. now here her comes
the very real problem.. there is very limited meeting space.. other than new
roots ie daves place.. the rutland is free good location etc.. but it will mean
we can not involve others.. however as said idd think leaveing it for now at the
rutland is the best we have got so far.. but give these below a go..
