Lo, One idea I have been circling around is an additional social meeting in the north of the county.  There does seem to be a good number <snip>

Lo, One idea I have been circling around is an additional social meeting in the north of the county. There does seem to be a good number of people (and these are just who I know of the top of my head) who live in north staffordshire... Steven (lantizia) Dave (wetrix) Richard (romega) Greg (terminator3d) Martin (metaller) Jon (purpleoptic) Andrew (ajedwards) Matthew (mzje) Four of those guys (including myself) actually used to go to the short lived Keele LUG I tried to help run last year but there just wasn't enough interest, and three of them went to the December social. I've noticed the Stafford based Technical and Social meetings have been on the 2nd Monday of each month. I propose a Stoke based Social meeting on the 3rd Monday on the months where we don't have a Stafford social meeting (so a week after each Stafford based Technical). So the first two dates would be the 17th January and 21st March. I'm also thinking it's best not to play the whole Hanley vs Newcastle game and instead maybe do this in Stoke (as in Stoke-upon-Trent) especially since it's got a train station for anyone in Stafford who may want to quickly get up here. Two ideas (both have excellent Real Ale)... The Glebe... http://www.joulesbrewery.co.uk/pubs/pub_details.php?id=9 The White Star... http://www.titanicbrewery.co.uk/thewhitestar.html It is entirely pointless to have another LUG (the Keele LUG was mainly meant for University staff and students anyway). So it's probably best to consider this proposal as just a sub-branch of StaffsLUG... translation... more excuses for a pint :P Any thoughts?

I leave near Chadle

I live near Cheadle

Hello all, Well, it's nearly the end of the year so I decided to have a review of the lug, so here goes. What have we done? - Bletchley Park Visit (yes, all the way back in March) - Had more regular meetings (both social and technical) - Site has had more content updates Not many points (please feel free to add more), but considering where we were, I think we've got things moving! As the subject of the mail says "Where Next?", I was wanting to ask people a few questions about the lug: - Are you happy with the lug as it is now? - What do you want to see more with the lug? - Are you happy with the structure of the lug? - Do you think the lug needs a change of leadership? - Anything else Even if you haven't attended any of the meetings, I would like to know your views. The above questions are only a few I could think of, so if you have anything else to ask, then you can either email me, or post to the mailing lists. If you are going to reply to one of the above questions, can send a new mail making the subject something like "Reply To Question .....", then it keeps things easier to read!
