[Javier Candeira]

Apologies, James, I should have made it clearer in my earlier email:

We are good for December 1, no need for an alternate date.

Cheers,

J

I can't personally make either date, so my scheduled What's New talk would have to be postponed to the next meeting in February. I was also going to host the December meeting, so the choice of 2nd or 3rd December would depend on who is available to host it and give talks.
