The next meeting of the RISC OS user group of London will be:

Steve Fryatt
demonstrating CashBook and also PrintPDF

Monday 19th May 2008, 7:45pm
(informal discussions from about 6pm onwards)

The Blue-Eyed Maid (upstairs)
173 Borough High Street
London
SE1 1HR

CashBook is a comprehensive home accounts manager program, and has seen
substantial development since its first release in 2006, with the most
recent version 1.10 released only last month. Steve Fryatt is its author
and will be demonstrating in detail how to install and set up the software
for home accounting, including budgeting, analysis and reports.

Steve is also the author of PrintPDF, a front-end to the GhostScript
application, and he will also be showing how to install Ghostscript and
PrintPDF and use them together.

Steve will also be able to answer any questions about his numerous other
RISC OS applications. All of his software, including CashBook, can be
downloaded from his website at: http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/software/

Steve is also involved with the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club and a
regular contributor to the comp.sys.acorn newsgroups as well as the
printed RISC OS press, so this is a chance to meet the man behind the
articles.

The meeting should benefit from video projection with ROUGOL's video
projector, so everyone should have a great view. We may also be using our
audio amplification equipment if necessary.

A wide range of hot and cold food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
(quite expensive), will be on sale. Admittance is free and everyone is
welcome.

Anyone with wireless enabled handhelds or laptops should be able to access
the internet during the meeting, or (if time allows) use ROUGOL's own Risc
PC to do so after the main presentation has finished. Please speak to
Bryan Hogan if you have problems connecting.

The whole of the venue is now entirely a non-smoking area. There is
shelter, and sometimes heating, for smokers outside.

The venue is between London Bridge and Borough tube stations, so readily
accessible by public transport (both stations are a five minute walk away,
through well lit and CCTV'd main streets). It also has ample cycle
parking (covered by CCTV) very close by.

If you are arriving by car, the Congestion Charge ends at 6pm and our
meeting starts much later. However, please note that parking on double
red lines is restricted at all times. On single red or yellow lines, it
is best to park after 7pm. If you aren't completely familiar with
*central* London parking or driving, please allow extra time, patience,
and maps.

If you need any help getting to the venue, please contact us.
