EEB July 2010 - 31st July 2010

[Squigglyx]

July is nearly upon us, time to organise the next EEB meeting.

Jake has promised us a truly devious quiz.

We got a choice of 5 Saturdays in July.

Please select your favoured option via the usual means.

I'll be postmarking in New London,Connecticut on the 24th, so am pleading for the 31st. (New London is on the Thames River, pronounced with the "th". Wonder how many times I'll say it wrong...)

[Squigglyx]

Bump!....need more votes, come on .......... be decisive

[Squigglyx]

We have a tie between 24th and 31st, ....

So as 1 member has specifically asked for it not to be the 24th, I'm gonna plump for the 31st. Usual place and time
See you there

Umm, "usual time" isn't that helpful to those of us who haven't been able to attend for a while and so aren't sure when that actually is
Especially when your last 3 threads don't happen to mention it either

[Squigglyx]

Awww! Glad you got back in.

Thanks for a nice meeting, and fun quiz.

[Squigglyx]

Another excellent meeting over.

Well attended by a great bunch of people and excellent conversation (including the pros and cons of tights vs stockings, comparisons of programming languages and more).

A brilliant quiz put together by Jake (see next reply) and won by Anne.
We were honoured by the presence of TWO mods (Kel and Darren) and Darren won the country of the month and is now King/President/Dictator or title of his choice of Belize.

Thanks to all who were there and congratulations to the winners.

See ya all next month
