Local anorak friend of mine rang me last night. He was thinking of going to the Brandon meeting on Wednesday but a couple of things meant he didn't.

He then said to me that he found the music there too loud, he'd been to a previous one think a year or so ago and it made it difficult for him and his friend to chat to each other.

They'd been to the last Southampton meeting, music there but much quieter and no problem casually chatting.
