<p>Dear everyone on the list</p>
<p>I have been delighted with the way ExeterLUG has developed over the last 18 months or so. We are really starting to make an impact, The ARK is very close to completion.</p>
<p>I was speaking this weekend at Church with Micheal Emerton who runs the CodeClub at Exwick Heights school. He reported back that the Laptops we provided for them have been fully booked out since he got them, and he is having to schedule them in on a rota basis with the children attending the Club.</p>
<p>We have sold 3 £50 PC's and since I advertised them on Gumtree we have had 4 more enquiries that look very likely to turn into Sales.</p>
<p>The Cafe continues to make a few pounds at each meeting, and the Software Freedom day took £100 also.</p>
<p>I have enjoyed running the club, and of course I couldn't have done it without your help.</p>
<p>I am starting to feel a bit exposed, as the money we have on hand is increasing, and we are building an asset base, with computers and laptops, other equipment. I realise that it's not that much money at the moment. However, it is a lot of responsibility, and trust to lay at the door of one person ( i.e ME )</p>
<p>So I open to floor for your suggestions as to the direction the ExeterLUG is taking, and I welcome your ideas and proposals for how we might structure and organise the club, so that it can handle money, stock and assets in a reliable and sensible way.</p>
<p>Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas on this matter.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
