it was a small select group but good to meet a few new faces and see all the experience they have. Thanks Elaine for organising

is it reserved under a particular name or how do we find the reserved area? People may not know faces..

will check in again here on the 26th and see where we are at. I see the IFI has reopened by the 27th too…so that is another possiblity, the upstairs is pretty quiet.
Happy christmas all..

I have put this in the calendar now.
Looking forward to seeing how this develops but folks throw in some ideas about speakers/workshops etc….and you never know what might happen

so would something on Thurs the 27th or Friday the 28th be interesting to people? Maybe we could get that room in Temple Bar for a short meeting before we do the bar social thing.
If either of those dates work with our travellers just let us know and we can arrange something

we usually don’t organise one in Dec. until we know when people are flying home and if there is interest. …so thanks for getting this going.
