[kwlug-disc] Good venues for meetings are not easy to find

[jekerr at sdf.org]

Hello everyone

All you have to do is be a member of another group or two and you will
find out how difficult it is to find a place for a meeting. And sometimes
I just do not know what the owners of these places are thinking sometimes.

Paul, keeping the meetings free has not been a detriment.

And then there are insurance issues. Any group that would like to use a
room in a church would have to carry their own liability insurance. That
is not a church order, that is a condition coming from the insurance
companies. They are not trying to make more money, they just want to know
first hand what kind of group they are insuring. Insuring a knitting group
is a lot different from insuring a group making their own rocket fuel.

The number of churches to hold meetings in is diminishing as well, and
that is not going to get better any time soon.
