With apologies for the short notice, the speaker for this Friday's
Digital Classicist London seminar will not be able to make it, so the
seminar is cancelled.
Next week and the rest of the programme will continue as advertised.
(Any visitors who want to take advantage of our regular table booking in
the Plough <https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Plough,+27+Museum+Street>
are welcome to join the organizers there later in the evening.)
