maybe if we meet at 7 then talk starts around 7.15 till 7.45/8.15 this give people a chance to get there and still gives plenty of time after. Ideally we would have a projector I'm sure somebody can rustle up one. <br>
<br>Who else has would like to do a talk?<br><br>How are we promoting the group, would anybody be willing to write a column for a local mag or paper, promote the group on there website (my security site will be up soon), is somebody up for running a Facebook group for the site. would be cool to see everybody getting involved in growing this group as I think it really does has potential and everybody is really friendly (well so far)<br>

</div>Tenacious?! Yep, sorry about that, I sometimes like to play the<br>

everything that I say :)<br>

</div></div>Sounds brilliant and I think there is definitely room for this. I<br>
would be happy to listen to anyone that wants to give a<br>
talk/presentation. As you mentioned, if the talks are 30 - 60 minutes<br>
in length, then that would provide plenty of time after for<br>
dissection, chitchat and socialising :)<br>
<br>
Have you given much thought as to how this should be organised?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
