thank you, Steve. I am committed to a different working group, but wonder if we might plan to have a 'drinks huddle' among BC members attending, if Chantelle might do a doodle about when all BC members are arriving. Separately, I know that the Outreach committee, led by Andrew,and with several other members are examining options for outreach events/activities.
