Brilliant Christmas Party

What a brilliant Christmas Party!!

Thanks to the efforts of Dawn and Faz in laying out such a marvelous spread (ruined my preparations for Christmas) plus the music, and Georgie for organising much of the activities of the evening. Everyone has a really good time.

A sincere thankyou.

Even Allan enjoyed a bit of it!!

Broadband at the Club

We now have broadband at the club so, if you want to browse the internet while waiting for whatever, you can, if you bring a computer.

We are connected via a Modem Wireless Router. This means that, if you have a wireless connection in your computer, you can link to the modem via a wireless connection. The modem broadcasts its network name so you can easily pick it up.

The modem also has four Ethernet connection points so, if required, you can connect via a 'hard wire' connection.

The modem is behind the payphone on the fridge and is plugged into the mains by a plug and transformer. It is normally switched off so, if you want to use it, turn it on at the switch on the wall by the side of the fridge plug. It will then flash pretty lights and be ready to use after about a minute. If there is a demand, we can run an Ethernet wire round to a more convenient point in the club room.

If anyone has a laptop they don't really need anymore, please donate it to the club. Max is also on the case.

If anyone fancies setting up a webcam then please do.

ANNUAL DINNER AND PRIZEGIVING

FRIDAY 9th March 2007
(Note that this date has been changed from that in the program)
at
ASTON WOOD GOLF CLUB ....BLAKE STREET


Having received a positive response to the idea of an annual dinner and prizegiving, this event has now been booked. The golf club has an excellent reputation and I'm sure will do very well.

The maximum number we can accommodate is 120 so we need to have an idea of demand. It is expected that the price will be around £25. Children under 12 will be charged £10. Smart casual dress required. Ideally no jeans or T shirts.

If you would definitely like to be included, please email or telephone Dave Batsford, or leave your name on the list on the club noticeboard or leave a comment for this blog with your name and required number of tickets.
