Hi guys,<br>
<br>
As a regular at the Preston Raspberry Jams, Blackpool LUG/Makerspace
and more recently at GeekUp Preston and the Manchester LUG this very
weekend, I have been discussing the absence of a Preston LUG meeting
with a few of our colleagues at these forums.<br>
<br>
I'm about to have a short holiday and then a minor op on my knee
which will see me out of circulation for the whole of August, but I
would like to try and pull something together when I get back.<br>
I'd prefer to see some Open Source / Linux / Maker type of get
together rather than another social (the Preston GeekUp and
associated Breakfast do this very well already).<br>
<br>
Man-Lug are planning a New User open day event at the moment, whilst
the Blackpool Lug are working on building a MAME cabinet (along with
various old PC upgrades and problem fixes); both seem to benefit
from a makerspace/workshop type location, regular attendees and a
great community spirit.<br>
It would be good to get something similar going here in Preston and
hopefully take advantage of our central location to collaborate with
the other neighboring groups where possible.<br>
<br>
I have a space we could utilize initially if we could generate any
interest in, say, a monthly get together ?<br>
<br>
Anyone else have any thoughts?<br>

Just bumped into Guy. Anybody feel like a bit of a social evening at some point in the future?
