Dear Friends,
Its Jesen (Autumn) in Belgrade which means those lovely crisp and clear sunny Autumn days (like today). It also means rain later in the month, so buy your brollies now.

Halloween Party
We are organizing a Halloween party for the end of the month. It will be a classic fancy dress, so keep your diaries clear and start thinking about what you will be wearing.
Meanwhile, Zach needs help finding fancy dress shops in Belgrade. He may be ordering costumes from e-bay, so if you want one, contact him:

Future of the club
We are growing up fast guys. 360 members between Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=2390959004) and the forum (minus duplicates, I would say about 300 members ) .
The club is pretty much run by Zach, Eliot and myself in a very casual ad hoc manner. In the coming weeks we will be planning a formal structure for the club, including roles for officers, a charter and other matters related to make this a proper club.
We are going to need both a board to guide policy and executives - people to manage certain facers of the club (e.g. a charities officer to manage our charitable activities, a bursar to manage the money, a social secretary to manage parties and gatherings etc.) If you are interested in volunteering to be involved in the running of the club or as a board member, please let us know.
Car for Sale
A car advertised on the forum - Seat Alhambra 1.9TDI - has been reduced in price from €6,500 to €5,000 . It looks pretty good to me.

This is the legendary annual book fair at Sijam. The guest country is Greece. This is an amazing event, but extremely busy. If you can, go on one of the weekdays as the Saturday and Sunday are so thronged as to be unpleasant.
That's it for this one guys.
