Hmmm, I still think 18:00 is too early - I don't get out of work before
18:00 on most days, and if you don't work in the city centre, getting in
during rush hour can be problematic.

I definitely think that we should stick to a fairly strict, fairly short
agenda, and avoid going over 1.5 hours - the difference is that it's not
as serious if we *do*.

I take on board people's suggestions of the Waterhouse. However, I'd
note that in my experience it can be difficult to grab a table for even
a small group of people...
