By the way, UNIVERSE was 80-85 and inolved UCL, RAL and Cambridge -but not ULCC - amongst others.
ADMIRAL involved UCL and ULCC (and hence Joe Sventek) but not RAL and Cambridge, and so was less likely
to meet in Coseners. I am not sure of the exact dates of UNISON,
but it was probably also 84-88. Since it involved RAL, it was likely
to meet in Coseners. Just occasionally there were joint meetigs,
it was these that also met in Cosners.
