I won't be able to come tomorrow (I'm going to a play) but could the 
week after. I'm basically happy with monthly meetings for the LUG though 
- there's only so many evenings people want to spend chatting about 
geeky things based on past experience, and last time we tried having 
fortnightly meetings it didn't really work.

The project I'd like to get going is to have a weekly evening session at 
the Basement under Single Step Wholefoods on Penny Street - if we can 
get it, it's free to use provided they think you're a good cause, and 
there are already some computers down there and enough space for up to 
about 6 people I reckon. The idea would be that rather than just 
chatting it would be more based on people working on their own projects 
in a shared space, and sharing skills etc. I think having this kind of 
focus might work better than trying to make the LUG monthly.
