** Club Curry Night - Weds 28th July

It seems that the Curry house near the Downs is rated very highly.

See the reviews of the Spice Lounge here.
On weds and Thursdays they have a fixed price of £9.95 per head so that is the maximum you can expect to pay.
They have said that they will also do us a deal depending on numbers.
So, please let me know if you'd be up for a Curry on Weds 28th July,
Thanks, James

 

PostHeaderIcon New Weather Station PC

PostDateIconSaturday, 10 July 2010 21:36 | PostAuthorIconWritten by James Dell | PDF | Print | E-mail

Our beloved Weather station went bang last week.

A total hardware failure.

Thankfully we have enough funds and a new PC has been procured.

The live weather feed and graphs are now operational but the webcam is proving difficult as it is not compatible with Windows 7.

We are working on a solution.

Massive thanks to Paul Glover our newest commitee volunteer who is resolving all this for us.
