TPF 2011 Offline Summary

[Alex Bridgeman]

I thought that it might be of use to have a summary or index to past offlines and possible future offlines being organised through or attended by posters on TPF. With a single summary list it should be easier for people to see quickly whether there is an offline coming up that they would like to attend.

Updates made to the first post - not many things scheduled in the diary, which is nice as it just eases the pace off a little.

[PhilW]

suggestion: a first post update would be useful.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Good idea; I'll work on one tonight.

A partial update completed - listing all known future tastings.

Further work will be undertaken as and when time permits. Hopefully to be complete by the end of next weekend.

Update complete - please let me know if you spot any errors
