In addition to LR here’s information that’s not quite as late.

On Thursday October 4th we will be holding our fall AGM and movie night. The AGM is a great opportunity for new club members to meet this year’s exec, put forward ideas for the upcoming year and meet other members. After the meeting we will be watching a movie. If anyone wishes we can relocate somewhere to have a discussion about the movie.

We haven’t picked a moive yet so if you have any suggestions drop us a line. We will likely put a short list forward to vote on.
