Hi<br><br>Back from holiday at last! I'm also happy to help out.<br><br>When we met we talked about contacting some local groups (Marston). I can't find much about the Marston club, except for a possible 'Silver Surfers' group. Investigation needed! I'll have a look around the Beds area to see if I can find anything. The library may be a good start.<br><br>I noticed on the lug website that the Beds group is 'inactive' and has a contact (Stephen Newey). Maybe it would be useful to update this information. Is Stephen still around?<br><br>Stuart<br><br><br><br><br>> From: mick.redman@ntlworld.com<br>> To: beds@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:59:34 +0000<br>> Subject: Re: [Beds] Beds Digest, Vol 75, Issue 6<br>> <br>> I'm happy to offer advice, burn CDs.
