This meeting is still happening tomorrow right?
Just noticed I’m the sole RSVP :sweat_smile:

Ah, there appear to be two threads on this, and the consensus was to delay the meeting until the 12th: https://spokes.nz/t/meeting-organising-for-spokes-dunedin/782/14

Oh thanks, that makes more sense.

Apologies - I’d inadvertantly turned off my email notifications. Was wondering why things were so quiet :laughing:

Sorry Frazer, that link doesn’t work for me.

Just confirming the updated plan (changed above) is Mon 12 May at @devoniakruimer’s house.

Liam, the meeting organising thread above is in Members Only (i.e. our restricted financial members area).

We’d love to have you (and anyone else keen) join SPOKES Dunedin as a financial member to come into the inner workings. You can choose how much your contribution is. Do that here: spokes.nz/membership.

Thanks Nathan, I hope to make it.

@committee - haven’t got an RSVP on the OP from many of you. If it is only Devonia and I it won’t be much of a meeting!
