Looks like Tuesday 8th it is. Wendy has let us know the room is
available at Skillsmatter. Went to upcoming.org to see if there were
any clashes, only to see someone has already put up the LRUG meeting.
;)

Geoff, can you confirm that you're able to present this day. The
meeting time is usually 6:30pm to 8pm at SkillsMatter
(http://skillsmatter.com/menu/40). Followed by a couple of pints at a
pub round the corner. Seems most on the list so far are keen for a talk
on PowerTools. We usually get around 25 people (mix of experienced and
new to Ruby). You have a projector available. If you're keen, can you
send us a tiny bio and presentation outline for the meeting page. 

cheers,
Rob
