as far as a venue, i would suggest 3 places

1) prince of wales. weatherspoons, very near the station for those who dont like cardiff

2) gate keeper. another weatherspoons (see a theme here? ). cheap food and drink again, but more spacious (and IMHO a better atmosphere than PoW). not too difficult to direct 'foreigners' too either, as you cant really miss the millennium stadium :rotfl:

3) st fagans. bit further out, but might appeal if anyone was planning on bringing kiddiewinks along

failing that, the bay is always good. terra nova etc are all quite accessable

st fagans would be cool, I could walk there!!

Im in the Newport area so Cardiff would be better for me. I drive so can give whoever a lift. I operate a non smoking, hold on for your life vehicle!

I'd love to come along to a Cardiff meet and in all honesty I'm up for anywhere (well within reason that is!)

Daughter says it's nice in there but all the druggies go in there! :eek:

If it's going to be Cardiff it has to be the Bay area surely? There's so much to see there... and an mse-er works down there and could tell us the best spots (sorry can't remember who).

Depending on how I'm feeling (how brave I am I mean) I might be up for this so will keep an eye on the thread. I'm in Bristol but can drive or get the train. Would be willing to take someone over if they are fairly local to me.

the one that used to be a theatre? I like it there, but i only go in there in the day.. oh wait, i did go in there in the night once, and there was a couple being 'friendly' in the cubicle next to me in the loos, and the bouncers had to come in and stop them.. So yeah, you're right, lets not go there!!!
