Personally, I think a meeting in a pub or even a pub
room gives a very
different impression to a meeting in a university room, and we need to
bear that in mind. Imagine giving a presentation or holding hustings.
*Function room* of a pub - they are specifically designed for holding
functions, an AGM is a function. I don't think we would have any
problem giving presentations and hustings in a function room.
Gathering around a table in the main part of a pub is definitely a
last resort, it wouldn't work very well, but a function room is very
different.
