Next Meeting Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the year. ~ Spanish Proverb Since our normal venue (the Youth Hostel) is UNAVAILABLE for the date on which we have planned the next meeting, the meeting will be conducted at the GOLF HUT in the GOLF COURSE of the OTA at St Thomas Mount . The course and hut are located on the western flank of the GST Road, a little after the Kathipara Junction as we proceed from Chennai towards the OTA and Tambaram, and is to be reached by turning off westward from GST Road as we normally would to reach the MH, with the difference that instead of turning left (south) thereafter to reach the MH entrance, we must turn right (towards the north). The entrance to the Golf Course is so marked on an arched entrance just 15 feet away from the right turn. As a googly, there is a signboard to the left of the entrance, which reads “JCOs MESS” . The details of the Meet are as follows: Date: Sunday, 21st April 2002 Venue: Golf Hut, OTA Golf Course, St Thomas Mount Time of Assembly: 1800 hrs
