+ We currently hold our meetings as hybrid events, with probably
+about 25 people attending in person and others online.
+  *  The meetings take place on Saturdays, between 10am for setting up
+and 5pm to pack away (the meeting itself will probably start and end
+an hour after/before those times).
+   * It is helpful to have a room that can allow a couple of tables
+for resources and space for people to move about during the day.
+   * We can bring our own equipment for the hybrid element of the
+meeting, provided there is good wifi. But if there is equipment in the
+building that we could use, that would be helpful.
+   * We would like access to a kitchen for making hot drinks - or to
+have these provided - and for Friends to be able to eat their lunches
+in the building if they wish to.
+    * If Meetings can provide a meeting space at no or low cost as a
+way of supporting NFPB, that would be appreciated, though we realise
+that we are not alone in facing financial challenges.
