Didn’t he just do this?
How is this different from the October demonstration?
Hi Ron,
From memory, I think that he is planning to go into more detail. But let me ask him and add to this thread.
Ron, I updated the main post with the full agenda provided just now by Joe.
Just confirming that the meeting this month is on the 2nd Saturday (11 Feb) instead of the 1st Saturday (4 Feb)?
Confirming YES – the meeting is on the second Saturday, 11 February. This is due to Bain Center hosting a dog show tomorrow. Last time it didn’t work out so well to combine our two events.
