The Southern LIG (Local Interest Group) of the STC UK chapter had a nice cosy dinner on Thursday, 27 April 2006 in Chronicles Restaurant in Reading. It was a cosy dinner as there were only 8 of us there. (attendees: Cathy, Tina, Justin, David....

Chronicles is named after its original occupiers, the Reading Chronicle. It was converted into a restaurant in the late eighties and has been ever since. Learning that the original occupiers was a newspaper makes it a rather apt location for a group of Technical Authors to meet.

Chronicles is a cosy, atmospheric cellar bar and restaurant situated in the town centre. Chronicles has a new Modern English menu which provides a wide range of choice with excellent value and an extensive wine list to suit the connoisseur's.

It was the perfect venue for the Southern LIG to:

• enjoy each others company.
• share stories about the STC future events like our 10th Birthday party and Conference.
• express our excitement about Mark becoming VP of the STC.
• hear about Tina's trip to New Zealand (of which a few of us were very jealous).
• con Justin into speaking at the STC Conference in June on DITA (I think).
• see Karen stressing about her second job interview (the next day) and all the thinking that lay ahead, and
• of course, to have a very enjoyable dinner and a few drinks.

It was a great enjoy and Thank You Tina for organising it. When is the next event??

Thanks, Karen
