The Second Annual Cologne (that’s a city, not a perfume!) Barrow-Downs Meeting will now begin.
Anyone who is interested in the minutes of the first meeting need only go back to the beginning of this thread, where they are duly recorded.
Notes for this meeting:
Members present – Lush and Estelyn
Begin – 11:00 am, Wednesday, July 30, 2003
Location – Kölner Dom in Köln (Cologne), Germany
Agenda –
1. Welcome toast, drinks provided by Estelyn
2. Traditional opening of umbrellas, since the annual accompanying rain arrived punctually.
3. Walk to a bookstore, looking for German (and English!) Tolkien books. Purchase optional.
4. Walk to a café for further drinks, provided by Lush. Opportunity for conversation, information, gossip…
5. Photo session at the Kölner Dom (Cathedral) – photos will be released as soon as possible.
6. Further leisurely walking, combined with shopping (decorative cosmetics – wouldn’t the guys out there have enjoyed coming along for that?! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
7. Meeting adjourns sometime before 3:30 pm.
A good time was had by all.
Time and location of next year’s meeting to be determined later.
