Why wouldn't they at least support a local coffe shop. The world is whacked om Starbucks. For Gods sake. choose a company in your community, not a cookie cutter corporate coffee company with less than honorable ideas about community and nation. Just my opinion. This is so crazy.

Best of all, who are all these reps and do they know the organisers are suggesting people clear off when they're speaking? Maybe the first item up for discussion could be the merits of going round the corner to Coffee Lounge - free wi-fi access and an alcohol licence vs copies of Paul McC's new album? No contest.
