Re: [Scottish] Date of next meeting
As far as I am aware, the 18th it is, unless anyone has any serious objections.. I shall be esconsed in the Counting House at 7.30. With a bit of luck the fluffy penguin may show up too! I also hope to continue the discussion re: next years meetings over a few light ales, should anybody be interested.

Nobody seems to have given a definitive yes or no. I think a meeting on the 18th would be good. 7:30 in the counting house as usual?

It seems it's a lot harder to actually come up with answers. Unfortunately it always seems to be the ones that go to one meeting every six months that make the most noise. If you have something helpful and constructive to say, we'd love to hear it. If, on the other hand, you have only criticism without suggestions, then this isn't really the place.

Even advice to read TFM is helpful if > it's phrased tactfully ;-) This is maybe one area that we could improve on, how about a list of members interests / areas of expertise? It would provide a quick way of finding out who is who and what they do, also an opportunity to those members who are offering support or other services to make themselves known. Perhaps a section on the website with mini-bios of the usual suspects along with details of where they can be found (IRC, blog, website or on / under the table in the counting house).
