DVDs for May Meeting

Hi all,

A poll has been set up to determine a selection of DVDs to show at our May meeting (at present, we do not have a speaker). Ros has provided me with a list of DVDs. A selection of four to five DVDs will be shown at the meeting - depending of the duration of each DVD.

The poll closes on Monday, April 30th in time for our May meeting.

Cheerio,

Eric
