Richard has kindly stepped up to bat for the February meeting. Yay him!<br><br>If you want your moment in the ruby-coloured spotlight there's still room for someone to act as Richard's warm up and do a short talk for maybe 10 mins or so (or more or less, whatever, it's all very flexible). It doesn't even have to be a talk; it could be a demo, a song, a one-act play, a Rolf Harris style 'have you guessed what it is yet' drawing session. Let your creative juices flow.
<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Muz<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/01/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Richard Livsey</b> <<a href="mailto:richard@livsey.org">richard@livsey.org</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<p>Hi all,<br>
<br>
February's meeting is scheduled for the Monday the 12th of Feb, back in our
cosy underground lair on Sekeforde St kindly donated by Skills Matter.
However, we need someone to volunteer to give a talk about something. <br>
<br>
It doesn't need to be particularly long, in depth, or even something you think
you know a lot about, chances are you'll cover something that no-one else has
thought of. It doesn't even need to be a talk-to-the-crowd style
presentation. You could lead a discussion based on things that confuse
you about ruby or maybe someone has an idea for a more practical or demo based
evening that we could have. It's up to you, we'll appreciate anyone who
takes the time to do something. <br>
<br>
Anyway, if you've got an itch to present that you want to scratch, or just a
suggestion for something you want to hear about, now is the time.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Muz<br>
<br>
ps I don't recall if anyone volunteered something in any amount of seriousness
at the pub quiz, even with the offer of bonus points for doing so. If you
did volunteer, raise your hand again and I'll pay more attention this time.</p>
