Brinsop 2nd Friday of February

Sorry: 15th February is of course the THIRD Friday, and 29th the FIFTH. However, having fixed these two dates, and as Manju (who kindly pointed this out to me) would find the 15th much more convenient, I propose to leave these two February dates. Hope that is alright!
Also I must apologise for the fact that my spoken Italian is practically non-existent at the moment: very frustrating for me, because I used to speak it, although only at a lower intermediate level. I find I have to speak English to discuss the details of the meetings, costs, etc. but normally with my MeetUps I much prefer it if little or no English is spoken. For the moment, until I can kick-start my Italian, I love organising the meetings and listening to everyone speaking Italian - which I can understand very well for the most part. I will try to keep the English to a minimum!
It seems a popular idea that we should meet twice a month, so I have now arranged for the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month, both at The Brinsop Country Inn (as it is now called) and at 12.30. Thank you.

We had ten people on 11th January: a great success. Thank you to everyone.
