The two speakers we had lined up for this months meeting will both be out of the state this Thursday and I haven't had any time to organise anyone to replace them. However it is getting close to the end of the year and there has been some talk about having some sort of end of year dinner. My current thinking is that we have this on Thursday 29 November so as to avoid the silly season that is December. A couple of suggestions for places to go for the dinner have been the Tacos or Amigo's Mexican restaurants, but please get in touch if you have any other suggestions or preferences. I'll send out some firmer details closer to the date. SeeYa, John.

This month we will be having a talk about the 3D modeling program Blender. Currently version 2.80 is in Alpha 2 release, and the latest post dated 24th October from the Blender website is "we are currently an estimated 2-3 weeks away from releasing a 2.80 Beta version". So we are going to take the opportunity to look at what development in Blender 2.80 will look like. Regardless of whether your an old hand or a complete beginner, there will be something in this talk for you. More information can be found at: https://www.blender.org/ If you want to give the alpha version a try before hand, or work along with the examples during the talk, then go to: https://builder.blender.org/download/ The meeting will be held at Enterprize Launceston 22 -24 Patterson st Launceston, on Saturday 24th of November, starting at 2:00pm. This will be the last meeting for the year. We will be back in action on the last Saturday in January 2019.

When: 6:30pm, Thursday 29 November Where: Amigo Mexican Restaurant (237 Elizabeth Street, North Hobart) http://amigostas.com.au/menu/ If you plan on coming along, then please **RSVP by Tuesday 27 November** so I can make the appropriate booking.
