Sounds great.  Will need to double check dates, but hopefully see you there.

Thanks for the offer.

Sh!t - sorry Col - I know I said I'd try to get along to this.  It's passed me by in a blur of over-work :roll: and hadn't registered that tonight was the first one.  Will try for the next one - and will let you know either way well in advance.

This is a good wee calendar program that sits in on the desktop. You can add different layers to it and it also has a note and alarm feature that you can set in advance which pops a window up so you don't forget things like birthdays, anniversaries or important fishing events  :roll:

I have mine set to show the current month and next with a moon layer showing the phases of the moon and a holiday layer for uk holiday dates. Quite a handy thing to have.

Do you use a separate moon phase program, or is it built in?  I don't like gadgets at all, I prefer standalone stuff I can run when I need it. Using this right now;

I use my Thunderbird as a calendar;

It comes as a layer for the calendar.

It is also possible to make up your own to use for whatever purpose and add it to the calendar as a layer.

Managed along to this on Thursday.  If you stay anywhere nearby, I'd thoroughly recommend it - a really enjoyable, well-run evening in good company.  Picked up some lovely patterns and new techniques as well.  There can't be many fishers/fly-tiers in the country that couldn't learn a thing or two from Col.

See ya next week.
