American Meetup - UPDATED !!!
Hey People, I received an update on this meet-up today in my email. Unfortunately if at least 5 people don't confirm that they are going to attend, the system automatically cancels the meet-up, and therefore it has been cancelled. If anyone out there is still interested, I'm still keen and I think Garry would be too. Send me an email at paul@usaus.org so I can tally the number of interested people and I will respond with the latest news and a list of those interested.
Cheers,
