Very strange..... I did comment on this.... and its not here!

Anyway Mars, thanks for posting the thread...... and I sure hope we have a room full of newbies

*Muma* · 10-06-2008, 02:29 PM

I remember those days .... and that the chat was once a month. Fantastic idea to make it every week.

*MarsOlson* · 10-16-2008, 01:49 PM

At our last chat we discussed whether 10pm est was a good chat time to reach new members. If you have any other suggestions we are open to changing the time to something more convenient for our international new members. Please let us know if you have any suggestions.

I joined in the Newbie chat this last week and delighted to be there when a new member checked in. Even if we only greet a couple of new members each week, I am glad we will be there. Maybe when each new person joins, the chat could be mentioned in their greeting.

**Teresa** · 12-05-2008, 11:54 PM

If I am still awake by ten and Lauraloubie promises not to push me off the couch, I'll show up.

LauraLou · 12-08-2008, 01:20 PM

Come all sleepy and it will be so much easier to push you around, er, I mean, off.

See...we can introduce a newbie to all the fun we have here on DSP as well as the technical stuff.

*Jeanet* · 12-16-2008, 09:48 PM

Just a friendly reminder. Next chat is in 15 minutes!!

*MarsOlson* · 02-17-2009, 02:09 AM

Update: Come to the New Member Chat and we have a gorgeous DSP kit as a gift for you.

Hi Bernie - we have quite a few members in the UK too - CathieMarie is in Yorkshire, Greenfingers is in the South, Galadriel is around Liverpool. We should have a laptop crop one of these days!! Anyway, welcome and we hope to see you at one of the chats sometime. Meryl has a chat at a more UK friendly time

*Jeanet* · 02-21-2009, 03:32 AM

Lynnie, that's an awesome idea -if you have one in the UK I would definitely come too

BernieTuffs · 02-21-2009, 01:29 PM

Thanks for the welcome! Laptop crop sounds good!

ok, so where do I find the place where the UK-friendly timed chats are listed?!!
