INSIDE THE WORLD OF MEETUP

  Meeting in Weatherspoon's for a well needed breakfast it was cold crisp but clear day, perfect for walking. We headed downriver across the suspension bridge onto Melton road, I thought it was going to be a mostly urban walk until we got to an old trainline called the green line all the way to Edwalton.  The half hour stop for coffee was well needed.  We headed past the gold course and followed the canal back to the city as it was starting to get dark. An excellent walk, unfortunately no pictures.

  Essentially the same meetup at 3 weeks earlier but started in a different pub. "The Bell" was a far better venue than last time as all of us fitted around2 big tables and it was easy to socialise. The venue was busy and I felt a big pushed by the group organizer to be the one to talk to a socially awkward guy who was sitting alone. Moved up to the stage as per last time where the older crowd gradually dispersed after 7PM. Another fairly average night.
