[SSC] SSC meeting tomorrow, Saturday 14 April

Fri Apr 13 21:46:19 UTC 2012

Hello everyone,

Apologies for the delay -- I have been at a conference for the past two
days!

I believe we are actually meeting at the
Collection<http://www.thecollectionlincoln.org/visit-the-lincoln-collection/>tomorrow
at 11:00 for further open-day planning and other things, so people
can get a feel for the place. A few weeks back I toured with David M. so
can facilitate.

I think we may have booked two separate places. I suggest we do meet at the
Collection as we'll be inhabiting it next week?

Best,
Sarah
