|
| Unfortunately this is a weather dependent activity and even if the rain has cleared off, if there's too much mud it won't be a lot of fun.
| |
|
| |
|
| I'll assess the rain, and if necessary call the farm after they open at 10 am to assess the mud level in the maze. If there's a cancellation, I'll send it out by email by noon (preferably by 11 am, toddler permitting) on Saturday.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2013. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
