Hi Mongers

Just a quick note to say that the May meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers
which was scheduled for next Tuesday is cancelled unless otherwise
advised.

Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town next Tuesday.  Also I haven't
had any volunteers to speak.  So, unless someone pops up to organise the
meeting and finds a speaker or two then it's off for this month.

The next meeting will be on June 10th.  I'd be delighted to hear from
anyone wanting to do a talk at that meeting.

Cheers
Grant

We can always have an informal one (ie. no speakers). What's the
interest in that? I'd be happy to glean details off Grant so we can
still go to Level 4 and chat.

Alternatively, if someone does volunteer, I'm happy to get that
organised too but let's go for an informal one unless someone can
speak (or maybe half'n'half).

If it's informal, another idea is to just point a finger at someone
and say 'Talk to us for 5 minutes on something'. No prep. required.

Cheers,
Andy

Ah, you seem to have come in through the door marked 'Toastmasters'.

Matt.

So, erm, I didn't hear any yes answers.

In which case, I guess we'll skip to next month.
