Mailing list

Up until now, if I've had something to announce, I've put up a post on this site. There is, also, a mailing list which I think most of you are already subscribed to, and many people find this more convenient as the announcements end up in your inbox, rather than having to hunt down the website each time to check if there have been any updates.*

If you're not signed up to the mailing list yet, you can sign up online, or you could ask me to do it for you. There are different lists for the various regional groups, as you'll see... I suggest you sign up to the 'UK' and 'Northampton' lists - the former is used for announcements of events across the UK including our main retreats each year, the latter is just for matters of immediate interest for Northampton(ish) folk.

Please don't feel that this is restricted to people who attend the group - anyone can sign up, these lists are entirely open. Of course the same is true of the group itself, please feel free to come along to any of our meetings at any time.

 

* There's a way to make checking websites easier, actually, that a lot of people don't know about for some reason, called RSS feeds. If you want to know when your favourite websites have been updated, you can subscribe to an RSS feed for each site, then go to an "aggregator" site (the most popular by far is Google Reader, which I use) and see the updates for all your favourite sites in one place. There are loads of guides to using RSS, and I really recommend checking this out!

Zen and the Higgs Boson...

We strayed onto the topic of quantum physics this evening, attempting as ever to 'eff the ineffable'... I mentioned a video I'd found useful, so here's the link:

August...

Well, a fantastic turnout this week - I think we equalled our attendance record! Not that I'm keeping tabs on these things, of course...

Just wanted to clarify that for the August 27th date, as it's a Bank Holiday, we will not be meeting. This leaves a long gap between August 13th and September 10th; let's call this our summer holiday! We will be going back to weekly meetings from 24th September.
