There is room for you Nick, good to see you. I wondered if you were still about the list.
Venue will be Robert Fisher's garage where he has the necessary networking facilities as well as a beer fridge and a nearby takeaway. (Well I am ad libbing the beer fridge, but I'm sure he will have one). Time, one Saturday other than Easter - Rob has left that to me, any views - anyone involved? I thought NOT the 10th April, or the 17th (Easter & middle of the school holidays). The 24th April or the 1st May? (24th will be the tail end weekend of school hols so that may be a problem?) People had better express their views, because I will be making an executtive decision at some stage.
