That’s a little unfair, Rob - the wiring in that place is seriously screwy. Every time I touch it, I’m praying it doesn’t come apart in my hands.

We didn’t have time to move the seating as much as we’d have liked. Someone (naming no names) had trouble getting the computer to output to the projector, (because they had put the audio out into the video in). So while I should have been moving tables and chairs, and familiarising myself with the video controls, I was sent on a wild goose chase to get new cables.

Next week we will hopefully have more time to set up seating, (and now have a better idea of how many people to expect). But the world cup is a bad analogy the bottom of the screen is rarely important during a football match but is vital for subtitled anime.

we could move the seating forward a bit - what was with everyone being crammed in the back?? there
were no problems with seating during the world cup in there and that whole side of the pub was
jam-packed with people and no one had a problem with not being able to see.

if the railing was blocking the way why didn’t you move?

I agree.. The only thing I didnt like about the setup was the banister rail thing which managed to obscure my view of the subs unless i sat bolt upright

I imagine there’s some overlap between the anime and sci-fi crowds. Certainly any of them are welcome to come along to a showing.

But before we get an influx of members, we really must figure out a better way of arranging the chairs and tables.

Doctor7 - Good to hear that advertising works. As I always say on these occations, the more the merrier. On the 26th we will likely be showing episodes 3 and 4 of our regular series (The winners of last night’s vote), but I’m sure people will help bring you (and anyone you talk into coming) up to speed on the plots.

Couldn’t make it last night as I only saw the sign outside The Castle on my way past earlier in the day, a bit late to change my plans!

I’m a member of Genesis, the local SF group, and while some of our members hate anime (so we don’t get away with showing it at the club), others like it and I hope to bring a few of them along, probably on the 26th as that is straight after our next meeting.

If anybody didn’t get round to voting, then email me your votes. I think we have enough to make a decision, but every little helps.
