In place of the Feb meeting of the Perth .NET user group we are having an informal session with Rowan Bunning, a Certified Scrum Trainer and a pioneer of Scrum in Australasia. This session will be run in conjunction with ALT.NET, given the wider applicability of the topic. Apologies for the short notice.

This informal session is being held at '43 Below' (used to be "The Bar on Barrack'). This is a smaller venue than Excom, so could anyone who is going to attend please send Mitch a confirmation email.

DATE:     Wednesday, 27th Jan, 5:30pm
VENUE:  43 Below Bar & Restaurant, Function Room, 43 Barrack Street, Perth
COST:     Free. All welcome.
