[games_access] Meeting Tuesday at 9am NYC Time -- Cancelled

[Barrie Ellis]

Hi Michelle,

The only week days that I can make are Monday or Wednesday at 12pm New York 
Time (5pm British Summer Time). Sorry to be a pain!

And for everyone else - don't forget to use the www.timeanddate.com site for 
a list of your time for scheduled meetings:

We also need to send out reminders with a short meeting agenda attached I 
think - might help. I'll try to send reminders as I get a chance.
