The event is open to all valid members of Mensa Bangalore, and you are welcome to bring a guest (non-Mensan) along. The event cost will be Rs 500 per head which will have to be paid at the venue (this is to cover venue, food and other expenses).

The confirmation email must reach me before Thursday 6th of March failing which your registration may not be accepted. This is because we have to make arrangements for food and other items which require at least 24 hours notice.

MHK Report: Feb 2008 BrewHaHa

A bunch of us met for MHK, Feb at BrewHaHa, Koramangala on February 10th, 2008. Ananth, Tharunya, Arjun (a guest with Tharunya), Rathi and Roshin were there at 4 PM, and Guru and myself were there by 4.20 PM.

Tharunya had some events prepared, but because of the low attendance of the event, we decided to hold on to the events for a later date, when we have more members in attendance. Meanwhile, we decided to take advantage of the games at BrewHaHa and start some games. We were also joined by a newcomer to the meetings, Poorna. We had a fun-filled session of Trivial Pursuit (a game of quiz and luck, mostly luck), which was a closely matched game, finally won by Roshin and Arjun. We were also joined by Amar in the midst of the game.

While the ambience at BrewHaHa was great, Ms did not find the food and drinks to be as inspiring. However, we do plan to keep our minds open towards BrewHaHa as a future meeting location.

The only disappointment of the evening was the low attendance, due to which we were not able to hold the events that Tharunya had so meticulously prepared.

Hope to see lots more people at next month's event, details of which will be sent out shortly.

Thanks,
Ujjwal
