[Imc-wales] [Imc-uk-network] IMC network gathering: aberystwyth

[genny]

Hi

I support the proposal to have a gathering first weekend in December, 
even if not so many people can be there, especially if people who are 
coming are up for helping with the cymru-imc-wales site development! :-) 
  We can always have another network meeting pretty soon somewhere else 
- getting together in real time and space is always a good idea, I think.

I hope to be there.

Bob - can you put my name down for bedspace please?  I haven't been too 
well recently, so a space where I can get to bed early if I need to 
without inconveniencing anyone would be fantastic, ta.  I can bring 
sleeping bag, mat etc. no problem.

Genny
