I'm sorry, but procrastination reigns, and I've put off making arrangements for the Christmas party far too long. The end result is that there won't be a VanLUG Christmas party this year. I'll try to make it up by having some especially good talks for 2010.

VanLUG's annual Christmas Party will be held on Thursday December 13th
at Prof. Mugs, the BCIT Campus pub, at 7:30pm. Everyone, including
significant others, are welcome to attend this casual get together
over drinks and food.

As in the past, VanLUG will be picking up the cost of appetisers
however individuals will be responsible for the cost of their drinks
and food. There will be door prizes and a contest, the details of which
will follow.

So that we can let Prof. Mugs know how many people to expect we ask
that you please RSVP using the form here:

Hope to see you there!

The annual VanLUG BBQ is coming up on Saturday August 11th at Jericho beach. We will be starting at 4:00pm and going until ~7:00. Family and friends are welcome!

VanLUG will be providing food and drinks, we ask that you please RSVP using the web site form (http://www.vanlug.bc.ca/members/rsvp.php) so that we can arrange the correct amount of food.

We are hoping to have a second BBQ to speed up the cooking process. If you have one that we could use please email me off list. Tables and chairs would also be appreciated as would any beach games.

Remember, even geeks need vitamin D (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4563336.stm)!
