Re: [Staffslug] Staffslug website

You certainly have my support in getting the LUG off the ground again. However, I will say this now.. please don't expect to see me at any meetings. I just cannot commit to them due to both ill health and the fact that I simply don't socialise very well face to face. I like to think that I was partly instrumental in chivvying the LUG along last time. I did push to get meetings going with the very same sort of thinking that sometimes, a face to face get together can move mountains. So, got my vote :) On 5 December 2013 20:41, Chris Snow <cr.snow(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Thanks.
