Re: [bc_canberra] Canberra meet up - any resolution?
Thanks everyone - yeah, Wiley has only relatively recently entered the puzzle book market. I was asked to be Technical Reviewer on an upcoming title earlier this year (Brain Games for Dummies), and this has led to a book of my own (which they asked me to write)! Very exciting times (if terribly busy)!
Hope your get-together goes well this Friday, sorry I can't make it.
Denise, that's wonderful. Puzzles for Dummies! Brilliant concept!
I'll be leaving for Charleston early on Saturday 4th - I'd be keen on a meeting before then.

Hey ACT BCers - did we ever decide on where and when we will hold our meetings/chats now that Starbucks is no more? Maybe time for our intrepid moderators to...

I can make it Friday. I know nothing of venues in Kingston (apart from the Black Swan cafe and it probably isn't there anymore) - where are we meeting? ...
I checked last week and all the coffee places are closed by 4pm. So that leaves - restaurants, Filthy McFaddens (is it likely to be crowded and busy on a...
Filthy's will probably be busy from about 6pm, as it's a non-PS pay week and it's usually busier then. Same with Little Brussels (aka the Belgian Beer Cafe). ...
All going well I hope to meet you all on Friday in Green Square. You'll have to wear a white carnation in your buttonhole or something, so I can recognise you!...

Hi everyone, I suddenly find I have to be away from Thursday night - so enjoy the meetup. Skyring - have a great trip, as you always do - and let's hear from ...
I maybe should have hung around Green Square a bit longer, but was worried that I'd inadvertently gone to the wrong spot and was missing all the excitement. So...
Glad Beyond Q was so great. I waited from 5.25 until 5.55 in Green Square - slap bang in the middle and didn't see anyone. Couldn't afford much more time than...
Sorry I missed you. I've got spare Tim Tams for Cari. Or at least I hope I will. My luggage is in Singapore and I'm in London in a capsule hotel airing my...
