Thanks to a timely response from six of you, we now
have a full quota of Committee members, and are able to tackle some of the
issues that have become problems.
One of those
issues, on which we would like feedback from the membership, is whether or not
you want regular evening meetings to recommence.
The North Side
and South Side Coffee and Chat meetings take place in the daytime, and are not
therefore easy to attend for daily workers, but are very well attended by
retirees.
The ANU lecture
theatres which were the venues for our monthly evening meetings were proving
more and more unreliable with regard to opening times, equipment available, and
cost per attendee.
We really don't
know whether attendance was declining because of hassles regarding the venue,
because of the subjects being presented, or perhaps because evening meetings
have become less desirable now that the information we used to rely on them for
is available at home from the Internet spiced with Google.
Please let us
know your thoughts by e-mail at pcug@pcug.org.au
with “Regular Meetings” in the Subject Header.
