You mean hold a meeting that's not on a Thursday. Hmm... interesting concept. I'm not sure that the rules cater for that possibility. Let me think about. Might need an EGM this evening. Hope we're quorate. Dunno, don't the strikes tend to start the evening before the day[1]? I'd be wary of holding in any time round the 3rd. struan [1] or the evening of the second to be less confusing

Re: next social meeting vs tube strike
From: "Steve Mynott" [EMAIL PROTECTED] why don't you have the social meeting a day earlier so that everyone can "work from home" with their hangovers the following day? That would work for me.

They _did_ have some pygmy marmosets that were grooming each other, but that was just cute rather than seedy. Star of the whole place was the Slow Loris: koala, sloth, bushbaby type thing. Very popular with female company.
