DAS Programme 2010/2011

FRIDAY EVENING MEETINGS

The council would like to thank all those who turned out in fair weather and foul, in sunshine and snow, to attend the talks and demonstrations on Friday evenings.

Unfortunately, numbers have been dropping off a little and replies in the questionnaire give various reasons for this. The ever present problem of parking in Roseangle is a major factor, but other reasons taken on board were members' other commitments on Friday nights ; for some, venturing out on dark winter nights is off-putting.

So with those members' thoughts in mind, we are reducing the number of meetings to only one a month to be held whenever possible, on the third Friday. We hope this will encourage more of you to come and enjoy the wide array of subjects on offer in this very important part of the society's programme.

Although it is said that you cannot please all the people all the time, the programme this season will try - with a variety of talks, demonstrations, film shows and crits - to do exactly that. There should be something for everyone.
