That's quite a change from even 2 years ago. Hours are consistent
throughout the City. Byron Library used to charge $127 a night (our
Xmas sale flop when 6-7 persons showed up), & Masonville; where we
used to meet & has lousy parking; cost us $147.50 + tax with the
large screen hook-up. So I hope you newbies understand why I was so
hesitant. The Masonville monthly costs & poor turnouts caused us to
go Online, a suggestion by Paul, seconded by me & approved by all the
Board & existing members 2-3 years ago.
I'm highly in favour of Cherryhill, but I'll take Westmount if it's
free. Downtown eating places have a number of negatives, including
paying for parking, most meeting room are upstairs & washrooms are
frequently in the basement. Ted's place I don't know about, but has
the advantage of cost & I presume no real restrictions of time.
TTFN, TeeC
