Hi, i'd be happy to offer a 30 - 50 person venue at Uganda house right opposite Nandos. It has a great view of Kampala, internet, computers and plenty network cables but alas no wireless.
If anyone can carry a small wireless router for the meeting we could set that up. Since we already have samosas i can provide sodas Cheers, Richard Obore On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 11:11 AM, G.Y.
