Hi Mark and welcome to Staffs LUG :-)
Ok, firstly, you will now incur the wrath of another member who is
known and loved by all as Dick Turpin. He's called this because he
will fleece you of every penny that you own and will earn until the
end of your days... Just kidding of course ;-) and that should show
you what sort of a LUG we are i.e. very friendly and always joking.
Actually Dick merely has this unbelievable aversion to the poo distro
that is Ubuntu. But I'm slowly weaning him onto Kubuntu ;-)
Meetings... are normally riotous affairs..well the first two were
anyway and it's been downhill since then I gather. Initiations...none
really :-))))
As long as you don't top post you will be fine......
Hopefully I'll see you at our next meeting?
