My house is too small, unfortunately, and we're still nto done moving
in. Lots of restaurants have a "banquet area" that would be suitable
for a meeting of any size--though food and Lego are not a good
combination.
I agree that having a private meeting before the public is let in is a
good idea. However, I think that if we met more often, on a smaller
scale, it would make it easier to develop a sense of community and to
be able to work on projects as a group. I'm sure we're all
intelligent people and if we work on it, we could find a good
centrally-located venue.
