Is this a good idea, what about parking,traffic etc

I understand the library in town has venue rooms for hire, perhaps thats 
worth looking at.

I thought the whole idea of the LUG is to 1) help out others with their 
problems etc,
if they can't bring their PC to the meeting and set it up, how are we

 2) demonstrate new ideas, machines, etc. It won't be much of a meeting 
without these events happening.
