-We are on the look-out for a suitable location for workshop meetings.  **Can +At the [[pub-2007-04-04-rc|Pub Meet on 4th April 2007]], James returned after an absence of nearly two years.  He is still able to get the use of a room at the University and so we can resurrect the Workshop Meetings.  He would prefer a Saturday, (although Sunday is a possibility), and all we have to do is sort out the agenda etc. About a year ago, we thought a location had been found because a new member offered to make a suitable venue available to us.  However, the venue fell through, but the ideas from then, in particular the [[meetings:pub|social meeting]] on 2006-05-03 and the [[:mailing_list|mailing list]], were preserved. If this is still a goer, lets get it rolling; otherwise, get those suggestions rolling in!
