Society of Procrastinators". It was formed initially so we could get some
funding from our university to form a society (like the squash society;
drama society etc). Unfortunately we all took so long in applying for
funding that we missed the deadline. Still, the name stuck and for the last
two years we have been trying to get a time to get together for a few drinks
etc.
A couple of weeks ago, we actually managed to meet (apart from one member
who said he was moving house that day). So, I would say that yes,
procrastinator's clubs do meet, but very rarely. We did plan another meeting
for this month, but I'll let you know when we DO meet (sometime in the year
2001 if all goes to schedule)
