Anniversary
Committee
Ray absent.
Paul attended a meeting of the stamp club held at the Aladdin Hall. He
was impressed with the facilities and suggested we could hold a computer
media show for our 25th anniversary. We could charge an entrance fee and
rent space for demos (Henry’s, Future Shop, Staples etc.) as well
as our own demonstrations of vintage computers, other interesting projects.
Perhaps show videos from our meetings. The idea was received with interest
and Paul will develop this further with Ray and the executive.
