Personally, I think a meeting in a pub or even a pub room gives a very different impression to a meeting in a university room, and we need to bear that in mind. Imagine giving a presentation or holding hustings.
*Function room* of a pub - they are specifically designed for holding functions, an AGM is a function. I don't think we would have any problem giving presentations and hustings in a function room. Gathering around a table in the main part of a pub is definitely a last resort, it wouldn't work very well, but a function room is very different.
That is very, very true.
