I seem to recall reading/seeing that one cannot serve meat at a bris on the 8th of Av (assume not on Shabbos) but I can't find it now.
Does anyone know a source that says this?

ובסעודת מצוה כגון מילה ופדיון הבן וסיום מסכת וסעודת אירוסין אוכלין בשר ושותין יין כל השייכין לסעודה אבל יש לצמצם שלא להוסיף ובשבוע שחל ט' באב בתוכה אין לאכול בשר ולשתות יין רק מנין מצומצם וזה אפי' בערב ת"ב שרי ובלבד שלא יהיה בסעודה שמפסיק בה
Mishnah Berurah 551:77 contends that meat may be eaten by the celebrants, their very close family members, and an additional quorum of ten people.
