Xmas Dinner has been voted for, therefore the cost of the meeting is £60.00

If the majority vote is for a Christmas lunch then the price will go up by £5.00 to £60.00 to cover the extra cost of a Roast Turkey main course and Xmas desert for everyone. There will not be a starter course simply because time doesn't permit but we can enjoy the rest of it. (We might even see a cracker or two amongst us!)

Capesoft Day - www.CapeSoft.com are now willing (some arm twisting took place) to send one of their budding stars (Jono) to the UK to demonstrate what their products can do and carry out Product Training at the same time.

So to make the most of this rare opportunity we have negotiated a special deal (if voted for) to cover their costs. Each person would be charged £30 which is already built into the £55 charge for the day which would be redeemable against any Capesoft products purchased at the Usergroup meeting or from them at any time in the future. CapeSoft will be offering special prices for their products at the Usergroup meeting for all attendees.

The CapeSoft Product Demonstration, will be a short scenario whereby Jono will be the programmer, and I (Richard Rose) will be the client requesting an application. You'll discover ways to make yourself more productive using off-the-shelf Clarion Accessories by CapeSoft, thereby revealing how to work smarter, not harder.

With regard to the Product Training, if you have anything in particular you would like to see or know about let me know in plenty of time so that we can accommodate your requirements. It will be a first come first served basis so get in early with your requests.

If the Capesoft Day is voted for there will be only 1.5 hours put aside for other topics voted for.

JAGUAR applications can be executed on Windows or Linux with no changes at all!! In fact, you don't even need to recompile your JAGUAR application!!
