It's a good idea, and maybe something we should look at implementing once the site is on a Wiki where we can all make updates and delegate sections to each other. Sorry for the lack of organisation this month but I honestly thought everyone preferred the idea of a meet every other month... > As to the official schedule, "third Tuesday every month, alternating > between Bristol and Bath" is what we have been roughly working to so > far, though we have tried to go to a different venue each time > (Bristol meetings notwithstanding). > BPM last meet announcement was sent on the same day as the meet, LPM has been known to leave some meet details until the last minute as well so we aren't doing anything out of the ordinary.
