[ELECTRON] future, broadband, meeting, etc

[Josh G]

Hey,

 I've just finished my 2.5 months of working in Austria and I'll be back in Glasgow next week. I joined the Electron Club before I left and never got a chance to come down. I'd love to get involved in the 3months I'll be back in Glasgow. Can you let me know of anything I can take part with over this time.

 Cheers,

 Josh

 Hi Simon, I can make the 14th and I will try to help in what way I can. It's in my diary and I'll try to think how I can contribute. best wishes, alan On 3 Apr 2011, at 23:02, Simon Yuill wrote: > Hi, > > As you may recall Francis McKee (CCA Director) offered to meet with us > last month to discuss CCA's ongoing support for the Electron Club and > get familar with more members as I will be stepping down. > > Anyway, as things went it wasn't possible.
