Hey Folks, 

For our next venue for our meeting I thought we could try out the Clocktower Brew Pub. 

This venue will allow us to have our own space in their basement from 6-7pm. Which will be perfect to ensure we keep the organized component to a minimum. Their basement is set up for food and drink and server will be through.

If you can drop me a line letting me know if you are planning to attend that would be great. Our booking is tentative until I get back to them with numbers. I just need a rough estimate. I would like to firm up plans soon, but I don't want to rush people.

This venue has wireless internet, which will be great for our presentation by Mike Adair on Map Builder.
