I have checked and if you want to change the venue of the meeting, we could hold it

at the George and Dragon at Meaford Stone on the A34. map ref. SJ 887353.

The pub is also a restaurant, so you will have to eat your takeaways or sandwiches

before you go in. There is a chip shop on the A34 and 4 takeaways within 30 metres in Stone.

If you decide to go I willl do maps. You will have to put up with laptops at the first meeting,

but talking about future meetings and meeting new members could be important.

I am also President of Stoke-on-Trent Association of Engineers and the Reginald Mitchell

memorial lecture is on Thursday 19th October at the Forum Theatre, The Potteries Museum

and Art Gallery, Hanley, S-O-T. Subject "Beagle 2 and Beyond" presented by Prof. Colin Pillinger

You are all invited, no need for tickets, they are free. Unfortunately I will be entertaining the Lord Mayor

all evening, but will get away if I can.

Cheers, Frank
