80th birthday surprise zoom for Geoff today at 12:30

[Cally Perry <cally mail com>]

Hi folks,

  Claire is having a *surprise* ringers' zoom for Geoff's 80th birthday and
asked Ed et al. to pass the word.  It's at 12:30 EST.  Sorry to everybody
getting a duplicate; it took me a while to realize that sending it to the
list wouldn’t spoil the surprise.

Best,
Cally

Hello there,

This is Claire, daughter of Geoffrey Davies. As you may or may not know, my
dad turns 80 tomorrow, Sunday February 6. I created a Facebook event for a
quick Zoom meeting tomorrow, *Sunday February 6 at 12:30pm EST (so 5:30pm
for UK) *for any ringers who want to wish my dad a happy birthday.

Feel free to forward this to any ringers who you think might be interested:

Here is the direct link to the Zoom:

We are taking him out for a family dinner tonight and we plan to have a
Zoom earlier tomorrow with family from the UK - so this "ringers only" Zoom
will be a surprise!

Thank you,
Claire
