Re: Farewell Meal and Drinks for Chris
Greetings, I was thinking of Tuesday 9th. June 6:30pm onwards @ Twisted Hop. In spite of being in NZ for over 40 years I still have to come to terms with the precise meaning of "next" wrt dates and weeks. If most folks on the list would interpret David's announcement as 2 June, as I would, I'll change my understanding and we'll have the gathering on that day. 2009/5/25 Nick Rout > > Chris I have inserted it in my diary, but I'll need a time. > > On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 12:17 PM, Christopher Sawtell > wrote: > > > > > > 2009/5/25 David Kirk > >> > >> Hey everyone, > >> > >> Christopher Sawtell will be abandoning us soon to go to Aberdeen. > > > > No, not entirely.

Farewell Meal and Drinks for Chris
Hey everyone, Christopher Sawtell will be abandoning us soon to go to Aberdeen. There will be a leaving meal and drinks for him on Tuesday next week (not tomorrow). It will be at the Twisted Hop. If you are planning to go, then it might be a good idea to let Chris know so he can make a booking. He can also let you know what time it will be. Unfortunately I can't go, but I would like to thank Chris for all his work with the CLUG and wish him the best of luck for the future. -- Thanks David Kirk
