A message from the Vice Chairman

The HAPCC has two kinds of meetings. Firstly the regular Sunday night meeting which most members attend regularly, secondly the monthly (approximately) planning meeting which organizes the business of the Club, including what happens on the Sundays. The planning meeting is held on Monday, a week after the regular meeting in which all members of the Club are urged to attend. At the planning meeting, we discuss feature speakers for regular meetings, finances, membership, training, and other computer related subjects.

Future meeting dates

We decide the meeting dates for the upcoming year at the last planning meeting of the season. The dates for these are listed below. As in previous years, the December meeting is moved to the early part of January due to Christmas Eve being near the fourth Sunday of the month. 
The planning meetings are normally held on the second Monday (8 days) after the general meeting. They are currently held at a members home and the address is announced at the meeting prior to the planning meeting. Anyone is welcome to assist in the planning of future meetings or events.

Dates for the meetings starting in September are based on the LAST Sunday in each month. Note that this is a change from previously, when we met on the fourth Sunday.

Meeting dates for the 2000/01 season:

October 25,    November 29,    January 3,    January 31,    February 28,    March 28,    April 25,    May 30,    June 27.

Note:    There is no meeting in December. Remember also, we are now using the LAST WEDNESDAY of the month, except for the exceptions as noted above.

Any changes to the scheduled dates will be announced where possible at the regular monthly meetings and/or in this newsletter.
