[committee] UCC/University Computer Club History, was Re: A student needed for a short term project - funds available

[Nick Bannon]

Thanks, Xavier - I'm not sure who else can make it, but let's.

After 1.30pm, let's say 14:00, could you meet me and any available
committee at the UCC Clubroom, second floor above the Guild
Tavern? Building stairwell entrance is near the current work-in-progress
Tavern entrance.

(I know some will be arriving for a tech-talk at 15:00)

Nick.
