Groton meeting on 25 July

[Laura Dickerson <lauradi erols com>]

        There are still a lot of people who are unsure whether or not 
they will be there, but it's probably time to start organizing 
carpools.  I can be at Alewife at 8:45 (which would get us to
Groton a good bit before the 10 AM start).  If I'm the only person with 
a car who is going, we could figure out some way for both of the cars in 
my household to go, if needed. 
       As mentioned above, I don't know enough to place bands in 
advance or anything, so it will be more loosely organized than sometimes 
in the past.  Everyone who can ring rounds, think about what you'll need 
to do to ring nice rounds on ten (get over being nervous, get a good 
night's sleep, reach up at handstroke, whatever).  Everyone who can 
hunt, please think about hunting on ten.  Everyone who can ring 
Grandsire on any number, please think about Grandsire Caters, same for 
Stedman.  If all we get in terms of band strength is doubles, we'll do 
it with lots of covers - I'd like to be ringing on ten
almost all the time.  People who can reliably dodge on even numbers, 
please look at Little Bob Royal

         Plan to bring water for the ringing time and picnic food for 
when we're done, but there will probably be an outing to Johnson's as 
well, for ice cream and/or fried things.   http://www.johnsonsdrivein.com/
Speaking of eating - the Morgan-Wahl family will be in Cambridge that 
day but can't make it to Groton.  Would people be available for some 
sort of evening gathering? Dinner at a restaurant?  Maybe tea and snacks 
at our house?
