Oh, our meeting place is nothing like a cold hall. It is a state of the art community centre with heating and kitchen etc.
As someone mentioned already, our club/group is already far to big to host at someones house. We can currently sit around a huge table and all see each other when talking.
The issue with tank crawls for us is also the fact of numbers, and also that our group has such a large range of where people live. I myself have to travel 50 mins to get there. Others travel over two hours and drive up from Wellington.
