Re: [CCHS] Re: Saturdays at the HackerSpace garage

[Clare Sloggett]

Hi all,

I haven't been coming on Saturdays because I don't live that close and
always want to sleep in! So I never come early enough to make it
worthwhile.

If we were doing a morning vs afternoon roster though, I could commit
to some afternoons.

Cheers,
Clare

Hi Clare

Thanks for offering to help out on Saturdays. Please see the roster for the rest of this year attached. Your afternoon dates are 10 November and 8 December. If you have a problem with these just email me at har...@bigpond.net.au and I can reorganise. 

Cheers

Ron
