[Python Glasgow] Day & Venue.

[Dougal Matthews]

Ok, cool. Sounds like we have a winner for event space.  
However, I think somewhere else might be better for the  
regular casual meet.

Do people think its important that its very central? i.e.  
somewhere in the region of central and queen street? Out  
of the suggestions Aaron provided I think the curlers nest  
is my favourite, however, I'm worried that would be a bit  
out of the way?

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.
