Re: [Staffslug] Staffslug website

Hiya kevan, I appreciate you replying to my rather wordy email, no need to worry about attending meetings. I understand that things like health can get in the way and that socialising for some isnt easy I've been there myself, you however will always be welcome. :) Meetings are just one part of the lug people actively taking part in disscussons on the mailing list, website and social media are just as important. We want people that can help others just starting out their linux journeys or even those with experience that are stumped with an issue.
