Peter et al.<br>
<br>
As per my discussion in regards to UMSA over at the Chatham Maritime
campus I can certainly look into arranging an area of the University
pub, Coopers, where we could meet up.<br>
<br>
As for a time, how about we go for the second week of every month,
this should avoid issues and mean we don't get two weeks in a row
between the Medway social and the KLUG meet. I'm tempted to say a
Saturday evening for the meets, though if people would prefer I can
certainly arrange for a weeknight. Due to needing two weeks notice
for bookings I can certainly get this arranged for, at the earliest,
next month.<br>
<br>
On the wider side of socials and goings on, having discussed this
briefly with others and the current members of the club I run there,
we're considering branching out beyond our remit of tabletop games.
We've had various "nerd"/"geek" suggestions and one which I am
considering taking forward is a linux or wider computer based
evening. This is still very much in the early stages, and I do not
want to tread on the wider KLUG toes, however due to having run one
for ~4 years and having the paperwork sorted, this is not an issue
to be arranged.<br>
<br>
As has been pointed out to me, the Uni. of Greenwich and Uni. of
Kent both offer computer related courses at the University and it
could introduce a swathe of new blood into the KLUG community at
large. As it seems fitting, I would just like to reiterate I am
willing to start organising this as soon as possible - but the more
input the better, and I would like to thank those that have already
shown an interest and have been in contact with me so far.<br>
<br>
So:<br>
Thoughts on a pub meet, weekend or weekday evening? Over at the
campus pub?<br>
Additionally interest in either a linux-based or wider computer
"club" that can be run at the Chatham Maritime campus?<br>
<br>
If you would like to discuss this with me further outside of e-mail,
feel free to grab me on KLUGs IRC channel, or I am on Skype if you'd
prefer a more audible conversation - just drop me an e-mail for the
username.<br>

I can get there from Strood on one bus. The bus
routes that go there, from Chatham, are the 140 and
100 operated by Arriva and the Docakside shuttle bus
operated by Kings Ferry. Admittedly I've never tried
to get there from Wainscott way. <br>
<br>
Similarly, with rail links, going to either Strood
or Chatham rail station you can get on the nearest
bus stop and catch the 140. With the Rochester
station, it's barely a two minute walk to a bus stop
where you can get on the 140.<br>

<div>Do you have any idea how few buses go through the
tunnel? Its not very far, (easy to walk) but the Medway
Tunnel is a rather large issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
(Its about 3 buses a day, if that)</div>

<div>Mind you Medway's bus map is not very easy to
understand unless you know the area..... </div>

although I can't grant public wi-fi, nor
the nice new buildings of the MKC I do run
a society over at the Chatham Maritime
Campus under UMSA (Universities at Medway
Student Association), and have been doing
so for the past few years.<br>
<br>
Some of our members have requested that we
branch out into a wider remit - and
something under the auspices of KLUG would
be fine.<br>
<br>
If people are interested, let me know.
There's the Uni pub which sells food and
reasonably costed drinks, and if we would
like I can book a lecture room which will
have presentation facilities.<br>
<br>
And to reiterate Kevin,<br>
<br>
Hands up for this location please. We can
discuss venue etc under this thread.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<br>
<div>Also in Medway (Wainscott), this would be
convient..... Not sure if we really want to
be very formal.... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only other issue is that the
universities are not that close to public
transport which is a pain, lets just says
that Medway needs a Integrated Public
Transport Plan......</div>
