Cambridge & East Anglia Pub Meeting: Tue 7 October
by Tony Ibbs Oct. 6, 2008

Oct. 6, 2008

Apologies for the (very) late announcement -- laptop problems, family visit, all the usual excuses. The next meeting of the Cambridge & East Anglia Python group will be at 8pm on Tuesday 7th October 2008, at the Carlton Arms I'm sure we'll reminisce a bit about PyConUK, but we also want to think about what we're going to do with CamPUG over the next year, including how often we have meetings-with-talks, and so on.
