July steering meeting and a bit more...

Hi everyone! I'm back! I survived my trip home with only a few bruises, some muddy shoes, and about a gazillion mosquito bites...(well, not really, but it sure felt like it!) Lots of outdoor activities, but we still had time to have a family Doctor Who night. Best line of the night? My twelve year-old neice: "You got me hooked on Doctor Who." :-D (*goood, goood*)

Anyhoo, sorry for the late update here-I was having issues logging into Blogger:

Our July steering meeting is tonight!!! 7-10pm at the Rusty Bucket on Lane Avenue.
Come volunteer and decide where we're going as a club! We will be discussing details on our next couple meetings and events, as well as talking about current projects including recruitment, Logo and flyer design, Marcon 44 and more.

www.doctorwhocolumbus.com has been renewed!!!! A big THANK YOU to everyone who contributed!!!

Be sure to check the yahoo group-we have a couple of open polls going on. :)

Contact Andrew if you have any questions about the steering meeting-hope to see you there!!!

*Editor's note: This is a scheduled post, as I am still on vacation. The information was correct at the time of this writing-but with the world of Doctor Who-you never know-something may have changed between now and then. 'wibbly-wobbly...timey-whimey...'* ;)

According to sources, Journey's End has a 65 minute run-time. It'll be interesting to see what Russell T. sends over to SciFi-hopefully it'll be edited to fit in a 90 minute time slot, rather than a 60 minute one. Less off the chopping block, please!

Don't forget the audio commentaries on BBC7!!

Happy Who watching!
