Probably everybody at the LCA.  Lunch is from 12:45 to 1:45.

There seem to be two possibilities for this month's dinner:

1.  We do it for locals with plenty of time.  In that case, it
    shouldn't be this week.
2.  We do it for interested LCA attendees as well, in which case we
    want something fast.

I'm easy with either solution, but having been through a few of these
hurried lunches in the last few months, I think it's counterproductive
to have a lunch this week that can't guarantee being finished pretty
quickly.  If we do it on Friday, it seems sensible to do it somewhere
faster and closer to the Uni.  Isn't there a pizzeria in Frome St.?
