I agree with Andy that perhaps a new uni society (Lancaster Uni Unix
Users Group or somesuch) which is nothing to do with the LUG as such
but can organise meetings at the uni which the public is invited to,
is the way to go if possible.  These would not have to be the only
meetings that the LUG has.

Andy
