Folks,

*TODAY Thursday 07/08/2014 7:30pm*


*A Crossing a Las Iguanas*
http://nottingham.lug.org.uk/event/a-crossing-a-las-iguanas


A new combination of an old permutation to enjoy some food and
discussion all al-fresco!

:-P


> Myself, I've a few stories to tell for what not to do with "badblocks",

And no doubt lots else to be chewed over good company and food and beer.
