Annual Goanetters Meet - January 3, 2012 - 12:30 - 2pm Tourist Hostel, near the Old Secretariat, Panaji (Panjim) Planning to attend? Send an email to eve...@goanet.org with contact details --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just to say a thank you to everyone who showed up at today's Goanet get-together at the Panjim Residency (former Tourist Hotel), which was both well-attended and lively. Thanks to Tony de Sa for his idea of having a lunch-time meeting (instead of a tea-time one, as we usually do) and for suggesting a more-central Panjim venue. This was perhaps one of our best-attended meetings ever. I think everyone met (almost) everyone else, and despite the lack of a formal agenda we did enjoy getting to meet one another. (My complaint: I already know almost everyone!) A special surprise was having Tony Correia-Afonso, one of our very earliest members (he's been there before me) at the meet. We will miss the kind, generous and knowledgeable Dan Driscoll if he keeps to his threat of quitting Goa this year! We did miss some of those who already left Goa (including Victor Carneiro of the US, Menin Rodrigues the amazing networker of Karachi and others), but this was in part made up for by the lesser pressures on everyone with the festivities now behind us. If 2010 was a Pakistani Goanetters special, this year it was an ex-Kenya and Portugal Goanetters meet up! Waiting for the others present to send in their comments and reports...
