April 2010 Meeting
Hi all,
Again sorry for the delay, there were some "issues" with the venue.
Please note the CHANGE OF DATE. It is now the 21st NOT the 22nd.
Sorry to complicate things, but here is how this is going to work for this month. We're booked for a double room which allows up to 40 people. Unfortunately, we've only got a 2 hour slot for this and it starts from 7pm through to 9pm.
This means a change in the schedule. I've made some rough adjustments and this is how it looks:
6:00 - Meet at SMCA
6:15 - Eat Somewhere
7:00 - Head back to SMCA
7:30 - Welcome
7:35 - Introductions
7:45 - Group Announcements
7:50 - Open Floor Discussion
8:00 - Presentation 1
8:30 - Presentation 2
9:00 - Be Out The Door
So the idea is that we all meet at SMCA at 6pm as planned. However we'll go eat someplace together first and give everyone a chance to meet and greet before the event.
Feedback is definitely welcome for this and adjustments can be made to try and suit everybody. Suggestions on where to eat also welcome.
The details for the event are below.
