Sadly, the Marbella Cafe closed down some months ago due to problems with their landlord and are still looking for a suitable location. I would suggest that a pub is probably easiest, somewhere like the Waterhouse[1], which is central, child friendly and cheap (any other suggestions?). Although if people are unhappy with going to a pub then maybe we can sort out a room somewhere else like the MDDA..
