Zsuzsa has asked me to send the following message - I presume the usual slot of 5.30pm..... Dear BERGers, Hope you are all well! I was thinking of bringing a few board games around next week (12th of June) so we can have some fun and catch up! I have games about the mind, forests, clouds or even planets, so what would tickle your fancy? Please let me know if you are interested and I will arrange nibbles and drinks accordingly! Kind regards, Zsuzsa zsl00001(a)students.stir.ac.uk
