Hi Everyone,

The meeting was great, very social.  We broke into small groups using the library's bridge tables.  This facilitated more communication for each participant.  We then came back to the larger group and each person, in turn, introduced someone within their group, relating what they had learned about that individual.  After that, we returned to the small group format with everyone choosing a different table up so that by the end of the night, most had had a chance to speak to over half of the people there.  A very good plan.

We discussed meeting weekly and changing the hours so that we will be meeting earlier from 3-5 pm. We had booked,

Tea and goodies have been supplied by the library, but if we wish to make donations we can.  that money will go back into the fund to purchase books.
