Actually I just notice that Chris has an Ombuds Reception at 5pm.  I understand he didn’t get a lot of bodies in BA.  Maybe we should just go there, we can avail ourselves of his services and thus make him doubly happy :-)

hi,

 

i’m fine either way, but do like the idea of just taking over a chunk of City Space.

Hi

 

I suspect after CD we will all be ready for a drink in any event, so why not do it together?  It 

 

We could just show up and try to take over City Space http://www.swissotel.com/hotels/singapore-stamford/bars/city-space/ on a cash bar basis, although that can be difficult if others already there.  Or if people want to deal with reservations and budgeting catering we can do that…but I suspect we are all pretty bandwidth challenged...

 

It seems both sides are done at 4:30pm, so 5pm?  Maybe early moving would improve chances of grabbing space.

Sure – I’d be up for that.

 

Shall we tentatively agree to try and meet for drinks on Tuesday evening?

 

Best,

Elisa

That’s a pretty heavy day, followed by the Gala.  Wouldn’t Tuesday after CD be better, there’s no music night…?

Could we maybe plan to meet informally on Monday evening, for drinks?

Hi

Looking at recent exchanges over morning coffee a thought occurred: are we going to attempt any sort of gathering, whether formal or informal?  The receptions in BA and Durban were quite good icebreakers, and the evening calendar seems curiously light this time.  I might even be able to shake a contribution our of our meagre means.  Or we could do something more formal, if we wanted to talk election, intersessional, etc.  Schedules are packed but something late day, e.g. on CD, might work if there’s interest…?

BTW: Glen, for some reason the the subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.  Could you please change that to allow members access? Nice to remember who all we’re talking to…

thanks,

Bill
