At the current open meeting this term we have two 30 minute presentations rather than one longer one. At the last committee meeting it was decided for the time being to return to offering practical subjects that will appeal more to those of you operating at the "chalk face". In order to provide subjects of current interest the committee would like your input - do you have ideas about topics you would like presented or would find useful? There will be an opportunity at the meeting to make you views known. Do think about it and bring your ideas along.

Our AGM will take place at the meeting. This lasts about 10 minutes. We are always in need of new committee members so please have a word with any committee member if you are interested.

Something you may find of interest is the "Resources Corner" in this newsletter. Many of us have favourite resources we use and which may be of use to others. Again if you have any you could recommend please let us know.

In an attempt to keep costs down (entrance fee is down by £2) we have had to change our venue for open meetings yet again. We are sorry if this is confusing but hopefully the new venue at "Costello Technology College" will prove more satisfactory. A map of its location can be found at www.costello.hants.sch.uk

Our next open meeting will be on:

Wednesday 3rd March 2010
at Costello Technology College Crossborough Hill
Off London Road, Basingstoke. RG21 4AL
