Re: [Staffslug] The Lug

Wow, so there was a lot discussed after I left by the sounds of it! 1. What do you want from the lug? (meetings / events etc) For more people to become active in terms of meetings. There are a lot more people on the list than at meetings! 2. Lug BBQ, would anyone be up for that? That's a good idea. Are we talking at somebody's house? Or a venue? or what? 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). Anyone in favour of a small donations system? 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? I'm unsure whether I was officially nominated or not? I certainly don't mind helping out though. 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 walk past a couple of times a week on my way home from work when I want a change of scenery from my usual route, so I'll let you know when the music and lights are back on. Generally though I thought that it was a good meeting, quite a few laughs etc. I'm going to have a think about possible technical meeting topics and get back to you :) Adam
