AARO 3rd Thursday - 21st June

Dear AARO Members,
3rd Thursday is due to take place this week, June 21st. Unless anyone has recommendations for an alternative venue with comfortable outside and inside options (weather looks unpredictable for Thursday), I will book space at Sv. Ignace, Jecna 5, Prague 2 from 6pm. Trams 4,6,10,16,22,23, nearest metro, Karlovo namesti.
This could be the last scheduled 3rd Thursday before people take off for the summer, so come along and cool off if you can.
No rsvp necessary, but if you do plan to come it would be good to know roughly how many to expect.
Greeting from Prague to all Members who are already elsewhere!

Jeremy
