I would vote for the 4th Monday. We get in before TMU, unlike the 4th

Some thoughts on venues. If we want to have talks we need somewhere with
AV equipment. I would suggest that at least to begin we follow the same
model as Edinburgh (and soon Glasgow) Refresh whereby we only have
talks once per quarter. So we could have a different venue for general
meetups and talks. <br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yup, I had imagined the format would slowly evolve. I wanted to get as </div><div>much feedback from people as possible and see what they want. I've </div>
