Hull LUG

Thanks for getting your orders in, and for your deposits as well.  I’ve popped into Xnaders, and paid the deposits and placed the orders.  I’ll have the list with me on the night, but here’s a quick reminder of what you all asked for:

The Festive Feast is our annual opportunity to talk about things non-geek, so we’ll be leaving our laptops at home

…OK maybe a bit of geek-talk to avoid those awkward silences

Once again we are holding the Festive Feast at Xanders.

The menus are posted below.  You will notice that not only is the Christmas menu available, but Xanders are offering their normal menu as well, and if you want to come please let me know ASAP. This is especially important this year as Xanders have asked us for not only advance warning of numbers, and menu choices, but also for a £5 per head deposit.

I have promised Xanders final numbers the week before the meal, but don’t wait until the last minute, get your reservation in early.

The Festive Feast is the one meeting of the year when we leave the laptops, tablets and other tech at home, and we talk to each other in a face to face. Because of this it’s an ideal opportunity to bring partners/friends/significant others along.

September’s meeting is from 8pm on 4th September 2012. For the first time it is being hosted at Hartleys Bar at 171 Newland Avenue, Hull HU5 2EP.

We are meeting in the spacious upstairs room, which should allow us more than enough space. If anyone has any projects they want to show off, there’s also a big screen for this purpose. The only downside is that there are not many power points, however Hartleys are happy for us to bring extension cables along.

Hartleys has a great menu (Jon, Damian and myself tried it out a few weeks ago), and a good choice of beers and ciders at reasonable prices. If you do fancy eating, the early bird tea-time menu runs until 7pm (Traci recommends the Minute Steak), however they do have a full menu available after that time:

We hope that you are able to come along, and we look forward to seeing you.

Dave

You may have noticed that the Yahoo Group mailing list has been sending out erroneous and misleading meeting notifications over the last few months. It’s got to the stage where it’s getting to be more hassle than it’s worth to mailntian that list.

By co-incidence there has been a clean-up of the mailing lists hosted by lug.org.uk, and this seems to be an ideal opportunity to get that list going again.

I will be cross posting this on Yahoo groups and on our other resources, such as http://hulllug.org/, and our Facebook page, and you may wish to amend your subscriptions accordingly.

It seems that Mustard is still closed, as a result I have booked us a table at Xanders, for our monthly meeting tomorrow (10/07/12) from 7.30pm.

I am really sorry for the late notice in the change of venue, however I will text as many of you as I have numbers for, and put Tweets out as well as update the FaceBook page. I would appreciate it if you could re-tweet/FB share/do whatever you can to make sure that everyone gets this message.

Once again many apologies for the late notice, and I hope this does not distract from you attending. Dave
