'Allo Chinas - Roundup #3
The latest from The Guvner:
So, it’s time for roundup #3. My bone’s are aching, so we must be getting close to the day I’ll let you all run amock in my Manor.
First up, here’s a plate of meat with all the current proposals and suggestions on it; I’ve marked up who made the proposal, how long they want it to be and how much interest there’s been in it....
Wotcha! Round up #2
The Guvner’s been back on the mailing list:
Wotcha!
Time for round-up #2 of all the bish-bosh on the mailing list. I’m going to try and give everyone a birds-eye view of how we’re doing building this ‘ere schedule, and call out some things that need a bit more eyeballing from you lot.
It’s great to see some of you getting stuck in, but it still feels...
The Heart of Ruby Manor is the Mailing List

Here we go:

Tickets: I opened ticket sales last Monday, and you lot promptly snapped up so many tickets that I had to keep some (15) back to make sure that everyone who wants to...
Ruby Manor needs YOU.
So now you’ve got a ticket, what next? Sit back and idly wait for sparkling Ruby brilliance to pour into your head? Tsk. You should know by now. With Ruby Manor, it’s not quite that easy.
Maybe you didn’t get a ticket? Don’t worry, you can still get in, if you pay attention to this.
You need to start thinking of what might like to hear at the conference, but more...
Wow.
We sold out our main block of 85 tickets in a little over five hours. That’s insane! Thanks to everyone for your support so far.
However, if you didn’t manage to get a ticket, don’t despair. Your best bet to get into the Manor if you don’t already have a ticket is to help us on the mailing list, and suggest a talk you’d like to give.
We have reserved a block...
