[PVRCNC] PVRC NC East Thursday, September 5, Manchester's

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hello PVRC and friends,

The regular first Thursday monthly meeting of the PVRC NC East chapter
will be held Thursday September 5, 2019 in the group room at
Manchester's Bar and Grille, 9101 Leesville Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613.

All are invited. Newcomers and visitors distinctly welcome. You will
be treated like you've been our friend for twenty years.

5:15 PM: Arrivals begin and continue throughout the meeting. Late
arrivals please sign in on the Chairman's log when you first come in.
Ordering meals will begin when someone is more interested in meals
than blather. Wait staff is used to our style.

We do it this way because some need to arrive early enough to beat one
or more of the several regular weekday interstate jam-ups. Others
can't leave early and always get caught in the jam. So latecomers are
**entirely welcome**. We've all been there and **entirely
understand**. Anyone who comes in during the round-the-table will be
picked up at the end if the round has gone past where they are
sitting. Wait staff is used to our late arrivals. We allow a 30 second
embarrassing pause for anyone who gets caught with a mouth full of
Manchester Deluxe when it's their turn. After 30 seconds you have to
talk with your mouth full.

6:00 PM:  Serious, organized QRN (as opposed to blathering, meandering
QRN) usually begins with the round-the-table. Dining is any time after
5:15, shortly after you tackle one of the wait staff. Official meeting
is officially over after official round-the-table, any official
program, and the chairman runs out of official blather. The entire
meeting is only over when all the post-official-meeting stand-up
meetings break up and the last few go home. That could be anywhere
from 15 minutes to an hour later.

Points of Privilege: Discussion of ByLaws Trustee's change.

Around the Table, General Purpose Wails and Tales. Fish stories from
various contests, and other data. Technical deportment. Scandals and
bewildering burnings of electronics. And so forth.

The totally official part of the meeting ends with the 'round the
table, but unofficially ends with the last small discussion or the
establishment closes, whichever occurs first. In fair weather,
discussions may continue into the night in the parking lot.

73, and see you there,

Guy K2AV
Chair, PVRC-NCE

beating by the wait staff if he ever tries to schedule the room out
from under us. If you can't or prefer not to high tip, don't worry,
nobody is looking.]
