> Hello everyone,
>
> The WLUG committee are considering organising a Saturday Workshop at the Uni
> for October 1.
>
> Can we have a 'show of hands' on who is likely to turn up, please? We had a
> few problems with last month's workshop and it would be good to avoid that
> scenario again.
>
> On behalf of club, I would like to apologise to those members of this list
> who had travelled some distance for last month's particular workshop and
> found it not happening. As club president, I had made some assumptions
> about the attendance of others that often organise and champion the workshop
> day. Recognising that they could be a problem on the Saturday morning of
> the event, I made what I believed were sufficient arrangements with
> Univerisity security stafff and communicated this to the club member that
> believed would be attending. Unfortunately the communication was only one
> way and I had to leave Hamilton for a prior arrangment.
>
> Sorry for the mix up.
>
> So, please reply to this list if you wish to be part of Saturday workshop on
> October 1
>
> Cheers,
>
