Good evening folks,

This is my first crack at this so here goes… threre is a lot to get through.

What you need to know:

This week:

Network this week is a more relaxed affair what with exams and  all the rest of that jazz. We’re meeting at the Fletcher Moss pub in Didsbury for 8p.m. Catch a 142/42/X57 to get there and hopefully doing a pub quizz. (Many thanks to Ben for his organising)

Up coming events:

Next week (31st May) will be a BBQ at 89th in Withington (Heaton road) there will be a list up on the forum shortly with an idea as to what there will be. Please let us know whther you are coming by Thursday 27th for catering purposes.

3rd June is Stockport beer and cider festival for those who wish to know.

21st June we are going on a tour of the BBC, there is a forum thread, please sign up for this if you wish to go. (Thanks go to Tom for his organising of this)

I do hope this is everything, see you soon!

YiS,

Simon

P.S. For those looking to procrastinate I found a rather cool story on the BBC, it’s from Australia for those missing Dani’s “G’day”  already. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia_pacific/10130346.stm

This Monday is going to be a combination of things. Its going to be at 89th Withington at 8pm.

Firstly, we need to plan a programme for the coming few weeks, and organise some stuff for over the summer.

Next, MAD planning. I will be bringing all the necessary forms for MAD, and will need payments if you want me to book you on. The camp will cost £45, and includes all food. Train times/getting there can also be discussed, and is also on the forums. Any outstanding money will also be collected, ie payment for gathering.

To fill up the rest of the time, we will also be having some debates to take your mind off revision, and let the argumentative person in you out. The topics will be a surprise on the night (not that I haven’t thought of them, I just want it to be a bit of excitement!)

YiS

Its time for the Manchester South Network Annual General Meeting, and second birthday party!

Everyone should have received an email invite, but just to remind you, its on 10th May, at 2nd/88th didsbury at 8pm, for 8:15pm start.

There is still time to stand for exec positions if you haven’t already nominated yourself. If you have any questions, you will need to email James as I’m off visiting Fran in Vienna this weekend, so will have limited email access.

There will be drinks and nibbles provided if you need further incentive to come along.

After the meeting, I will be confirming who wants to come to MAD at the AGM, as I want to get the network form in before exams get in the way. Network will be sending a cheque, so you will just have to pay network. If you miss the deadline, you will have to book yourself on. Any outstanding money for travel to gathering would also be appreciated. Information for both these things can be found on the forums.

See you monday

How to get there:
If you’re getting the bus, you need to get on a 142/42 towards didsbury (away from central manchester) it should take 10ish mintues if you’re coming from Fallowfield. You will go through fallowfield, withington high street and then past some houses before you get to didsbury. Once on didsbury high street you will pass gourmet burger kitchen on your left or aldi on your right (push the bell on the bus) just after this is o’neills pub, which is blue and you need to get off the bus. Walk to the traffic lights, where there is a costa coffee on the corner. Turn left at these lights onto school lane. Walk along the road, past La tasca and over the bridge. The scout hall will be on your right, opposite beaver lane just after the bridge.

this monday (3rd may) is a bank holiday, so network are going to linnet clough for archery!

Archery is booked from 3-5, so we will be meeting at manchester piccadilly station, under the big timetabley sign thing at 13:45, to get the 14:03 train to marple. The train journey is about 20 mins, and then it is a 30 minute walk to the campsite. Will is taking the archery, so will probs also be at the station.
If you’re running late/get lost/have any issues, I’m going to be back in essex, so I have delegated all co-ordination of getting there to Ben.

Coming home the trains leave marple about every half an hour. The train, with a YP railcard should cost about £3 for an off peak day return (don’t blame me if this is wrong, I just got it from thetrainline)

Upon arrival back in manchester, there will probs be plans for dinner/meeting up for drinks in the evening, which will be confirmed on the day, so if you can’t make it to archery, you can just join network later.

Hopefully, you should all have received an email from James, inviting you to the manchester south network AGM and 2nd birthday party. Its going to be on the 10th May and is being held at 2nd/88th didsbury (instructions on how to get there are on the forum) at 8pm for 8:15 start. If you want to stand for a position on the exec, the new job descriptions are now up on the forum.

Also, for those who went to gathering, please bring also a cheque for the money owed for petrol. Then david can give the drivers cheques for the money owed to them.

Happy May day bank holiday,

Dani
