Re: [Fsuk-manchester] IT Minutes of Basement Meeting 2007-12-17, Next Meeting

Dave,

Good stuff.

Can I suggest that a social is held after the next meeting for anyone who is 
interested in the ITWG.

If anyone doesn't know the basement - it was (and hopefully will be again) 
aone of the best cafe venues in Manchester and a working example of FS in 
action in a real/public environment.  the suite was pretty much constantly in 
use.
