Dear All,
As you know the SSC Open event is next Saturday, 21st at The Collection in Lincoln, starting at 2pm.
It is important that we get as many members to attend as possible. It would be very helpful if you could let us know if you are coming so we can include you in the planning for the day.
Looking forward to seeing you all next week.
Best wishes,
Mike

Apologies for the delay -- I have been at a conference for the past two days!
I believe we are actually meeting at the 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

We've spoken in the past about how we want the SSC to be understood as an initiative from within the Lincoln community and Mike's position in the university often detracts from that, can be poorly understood by the press, and puts him in a difficult position.

Hello all,
The meeting is at 11am tomorrow on Mint Lane. The side room we normally use is reserved for us. I will have to send my apologies this time, I'm afraid.
A new calendar of SSC events is maintained here:
