I would definitely agree with Dan. It's hard work running and more
hands do help. I had always looked to get more local groups running
which helps with local numbers, then when they need help KLUG on a
county wide basis can dip into a larger pool for help. It's a hard
balance, it took quite a few years of constant digging at the members
to reach the current level and Colin and Dan have done a wonderful job
keeping the pace going. I think FLUG could now be the next stage in
KLUG's life. If we can support a smaller group and it works out (and
there has been a constant need for a presence in that corner of Kent),
that could be a template for more local groups.<br>

I guess the counter argument could be to ask why KLUG is not taking<br>
the lead and organising something similar?<br>

<div>Because there is a very small core group that runs Klug. we run
the website, admin the mailing list and irc, book the meeting places,
organise and co-ordinate the talks and at some point also try to have a
life, see loved ones etc. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are an open group and anyone is allowed to chip in and help
with these things or suggest alternatives, organise other events etc.
In Jakes case I think FLUG is absolutely the right way to go about
this. Keep it small and local to start with and should it prove
successful look at the possibility of expanding it.</div>
