My ratings for the following pubs you mentioned:
The Cambridge, Young Street ^^ layout is bit strange and not very inviting
Dome, George Street ^^^ VERY VERY GRAND! nothing against it except some of the prices, although you get free salted nuts
Cumberland, Cumberland Street ^^ bit of a walk from princes sreet
I'd also like to suggest:
80 Queens Street (Guess the address )
Alabach (Corner of the High Street and Cockburn street)
The bar at Oloroso (Castle Street) The Terrace is fantastic!!!
99 Hanover Street (Guess the address ) a friend owns that I can probably negotiate some kind of late opening arrangement

Warm welcome Boddingtons. I was beginning to think you'd never sign up
That's a smashing itinerary you have there ^

. Mmmmm, a fridge full of Boddingtons awaits ^ I'll be honest, I cannot drink when its daylight. One pint in the afternoon and it sends me to sleep! You won't stop me yawning. I have no troubles come 8 o'clock mind
Just make sure it's dark wherever we're going, although on second thoughts, you'd better not

Airbusboy and myself are on the BA2938 on the 12th at 12:15 from LGW returning on the 13th on BA2939 at 14:15. Very good flight times. ^
So we are both all set.

Not necessarily! The search continues for a suitably sized venue that is flexible enough to fit us all in, provide nosh and most important of all has a late license. The first two factors are proving tricky to combine, the final factor is pretty much a certainty.
List of potential venues:
Traverse Bar Café, Cambridge Street
JamBar, Queen Street
The Cambridge, Young Street
Dome, George Street
Dragonfly, Westport
Cumberland, Cumberland Street
We had high hopes of getting the Scottish Malt Whisky Society for the evening but alas two pesky parties beat us to it.

Instead of the basement cafe at the Traverse, how about Blue, on the first floor? I've been at a do there that had the tables opposite the bar cordoned off.
Also, at the Dome - can that bar off to the side of the entrance be reserved?
Nice bit of lateral thinking to come up with the Cumby, the beer garden might be good at that time of year ^
80 Queens Street (Guess the address
)Alabach (Corner of the High Street and Cockburn street)
The bar at Oloroso (Castle Street) The Terrace is fantastic!!!
99 Hanover Street (Guess the address
) a friend owns that I can probably negotiate some kind of late opening arrangement Oloroso has private dining but it's limited to less than 20.
