[Staffslug] The Lug

Hello All, Well, for those that didn't attend the meeting on the 7th Feb, you missed a really good evening. There were tales of alien invasion only to be thwarted by incompatibilities in IP versions (you had to be there!) and various other things! Anyway, from the meeting we actually talking about some official business. So: 1. What do you want from the lug? (meetings / events etc) 2. Lug BBQ, would anyone be up for that? 3. A Lug outing. After the success of the Bletchley Park visit, we were thinking of other venues, so if you have any ideas shout up! (or email me) 4. Tech Meetings - Firstly a big thank you to Russ for the venue last year, it helped a great deal. Sadly to the tale end of last year the numbers started to dwindle. So what do YOU want to have tech meetings on and the main thing is, are there people who would like to front them? 5. A guest speaker? A few names were batted around, but we decided that finances may not stretch to air fairs (we were thinking more the beer and burger offer at the pub, with the lug members having the burgers!), so if you know anyone in the community that is a available to do talks let us know (obviously money is very restricted). 6. The leadership of the lug. From the general consensus it appears that I am still el capitán, but as for reasons I mentioned at the meeting my time is going to get more limited, so what I am looking for are deputy's who could take on some of the running of the lug (arranging meetings etc), so who would be up for that? 7. At the moment it appears that "The Yard" is under construction, so if there is anyone who goes past it on a daily / weekly basis can they let me know if it re-opens. At present we will reconvene at our first social meeting place at the "Picture House" which is just round the corner. I think that is about everything. If you reply to this, maybe chop out the bits you aren't replying to as the mails could get very big quickly. Dave
