Clowns to the rescue!...

Dougald has a point. So...at the last clown meeting, we proposed 
that after a Monday meeting in a couple of weeks, we'd like to take 
everyone down to the basement, and play some games and make you all 
be silly, in a way that will (trust us!) bring everyone a bit more 
together as a group, and develop a bit of love and trust between 
everyone. But you're going to have to leave your cynicism at the 
door. We'd love it if lots of you can come, and we promise it'll be 
lots of fun.
