I drove down from Hull with a couple of others from Hull LUG, and we were pleasantly surprised to see just how popular the event was. (Well not that surprised - we knew that it was going to be a success) :)</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font size="3"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">All in all there was about 9 people at the meet, all with varying levels of experience both with Linux and computing in general. Adrian, who travelled down with his wife from Barton, was celebrating his 65th birthday, and the best present we could muster up at *no* notice was a fresh install of Linux Mint for his laptop.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font size="3"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I know that everyone reading this who wasn't there last night will be keen to get to the the next meeting, and there was a lot discussion on the matter, and Becky was given a lot of suggestions which she promised to explore. I'm sure that she will be posting soon to let everyone know her findings and proposals for the date and location of the next meeting.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><font size="3"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Many thank to Becky and Philip for inviting Hull LUG along and making us so welcome. Despite not getting home until well after midnight, it was well worth it, and we're looking forward to coming down to see you all (and more) very soon. </span></font></p>
