<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I write to you with terrible news. <br><div><br></div><div style>Scientists have observed a massive asteroid on collision course with London. They have called it "The October LRUG meeting" and predict that it will come crashing down to earth on Monday 14th October at 6:30pm. It'll land almost exactly on top of the Skills Matter office on Goswell Road in London.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Those of us (un)lucky enough to survive the immediate collision need to be prepared for the two major after-effects of the impact:</div><div style><br></div><div style>The first after-effect, known in asteroidology circles as the "Drew Neil", will result in huge clouds of "Modelling state machines with Ragel" dust, so do ready your breathing appartus!</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>The second after-effect, "Olly Legg", will cause the ejecta thrown up by the impact to land in the "Enumerators in Ruby" pattern. Appropriate headwear should be sought out.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>You can find out more about what these catastrophic impact after-effects mean for you by reading this LRUG-issued "surviving collision" pamphlet: <a href="http://lrug.org/meetings/2013/09/16/october-2013-meeting/">http://lrug.org/meetings/2013/09/16/october-2013-meeting/</a><br>
</div><div style><br></div><div style>Personal safety will be greatly increased if you register with Skills Matter for a protective LRUG Attendance Badge (to be collected moments before impact): <a href="http://skillsmatter.com/event-details/home/lrug-october-2013-meeting">http://skillsmatter.com/event-details/home/lrug-october-2013-meeting</a></div>
