I thought that there was a North Staffs LUG and Staffs LUG was South
Staffs.
I did not relaise they had merged.
To me it seems to make sense to have south and north staffs groups because
the population centres are quite far apart. Ease of attending meetings etc.
Not that I'm advocating splitting up! If we have a membership that is
willing to travell to meetings then it can work.
I don't know the geographic make up of the membership for a start. Is it
mostly Stokies? Does anyone know.
If we don't already do so then perhaps we need to be capturing these data
and using them to shape the organisation.

Chris. I actually think you are right. I'm sure I've seen 'North
Staffs' LUG somewhere. I'm also pretty sure that a few years ago when
I started to make enquiries about the status of the LUG (which seems
to have been left out of the history???) that it was South Staffs.
Ok, the way I see things at the moment are that it would be pointless
splitting the LUG as it is. Let's keep it as Staffs LUG to encompass
Staffordshire. Once we have a decent number of members, which we
won't have if all we can do is argue between ourselves! Then, look at
forming smaller, area specific LUGs but, keeping them in proper
contact with each other.
How does that sound?
