Happily (and thanks entirely to Douglas' hard work) we have arranged a deal with Sportsters on Princes St to have our pre-meet meal there, and thus get access to their function room for our talk. Result! As such, we'll be meeting at Sportsters from 6pm rather than the Carron Works. Please do come along for food if you can make it! As usual, we'll head through for the talk from about 7.30pm. Please do circulate this change of venue to anyone yo feel may not have seen it. We'll try to check on the Carron Works to catch stragglers though ;) This month we should be hearing from the inimitable Gordon Guthrie about all things Riak related. Those of you who have had the pleasure of seeing Gordon speak will agree, he's generally not to be missed ;) Hope to see you next week!

Previous years we've had everything from space exploration, to politics via hill walking. Feel free to email me directly if you wish to grab a slot. As an aside, the new venue is perfect, and we seem to be on good terms with the manager at Sportsters. Long may it continue :) Greg From greg.sutcliffe at gmail.com Mon Jul 20 20:25:14 2015 From: greg.sutcliffe at gmail.com (Greg Sutcliffe) Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 20:25:14 -0000 Subject: [Falkirk] Advance warning - TEDstyle talks needed for August In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 8 July 2015 at 19:42, Greg Sutcliffe wrote: > Hi all, > > As usual, we'll be running the usual TED-style meeting in August, so > I'm looking for as many 5-10min talks as possible, on any subject you > like.

Update - still no takers, which leaves you all listening to me for the whole slot, if you're not careful. Step up now, and avoid such an awful fate! :P Greg From dgmccallum at gmail.com Mon Jul 20 21:37:14 2015 From: dgmccallum at gmail.com (Douglas McCallum) Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 21:37:14 -0000 Subject: [Falkirk] Advance warning - TEDstyle talks needed for August In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I am up for a talk.

Message-ID: Hi all As usual, we'll be meeting next Tueday (4th August), and as per last month, we'll be in the Sportsters in Falkirk from 6ish onwards. A table has been booked for us, so do ask at the bar if you're the first one there. As is now traditional in August, we're taking a summer break from technical topics, and holding a set of TED-style lightning talks on any topic speakers wish to cover. We currently have 4 signed up people, but there's room for more if anyone has something they'd like to cover in 5-10mins. It's a great way to trial a talk concept, or try out presenting if you're nervous about longer presentations ;). Contact me on- or off-list if you want to be added to the list. See you there!
