Hello, Mat,

Gleaston is a few miles from Ulverston and is a nice place if you can 
find it.  I could give you directions, but Mike Brereton at Gleaston 
Water Mill would do better. The Mill is in the phone book.

Someone did mention possibly extra / informal meetings at other venues 
such as pubs. That sounds OK by me but we might get a reputation as a 
group of Linux Lounge Lizards. As a user of SuSE that might be a problem 
(He! He!)
Perhaps somewhere around Keswick could be good.  Anyone know a good pub 
there?

The are a few newbies in the group (and I've only got one eye open) so 
you won't feel alone.

Keep in touch.
