PLEASE READ THE DETAILS ABOUT A CHANGE OF LOCATION!

Location
----------
There has been a delay in confirming location this month, hence the
late email! We are hoping to have the talk at the BBC building on
Oxford Road again [2]. However, we are still awaiting confirmation of
this and if we don't get the room we will meet in Bar Odder just
across the road instead [3].

Assuming we meet at the BBC, access is via the front entrance
(including disabled access), where someone will meet you in the
reception area.

As usual the talk will start at 7pm and it will end around 8.30pm.
There will be refreshments available from a vending machine.

Due to fire regulations we need to know in advance the names of people
who will be there (it's a secure building), so if you think you will
be coming please reply to this email or email
<[hidden email]>.

As someone else pointed out, I forgot to mention the date!

It's this Tuesday, 21st April (tomorrow). Please respond if you can
come along. It promises to be a really interesting talk and I know
that Des is keen to hear questions and comments from people. He may
also be interested in having people help out or work for him part-time
or during the summer..

We've not been able to get a room at the BBC this time around, so we
will be meeting just across the road at the Odder Bar instead. They
serve decent food and drink, and it'll be a good opportunity to speak
to Des from green h, as well as people from MFS.

I'll be at the table with the Tux penguin..
