With considerable difficulty, I believe that I have booked the Grey Room for our meetings. Bookings are managed by Margaret Graham (of Scoosh, email magplayscoosh@aol.com). However, the start time is changed without consultation to 6.45. She is supposed to let me know about the months after September. I received a booking form on Sept. 22, and have returned it.
