<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Firstly, nice to meet you all at the last meeting, quite a pleasant evening. Sorry about the delay but the PSU unit went on the computer that I was using for linux. Have been asset stripping the parts from both computers to create one slightly improved unit. <br><br>In addition I bought 2 caddy trays one for Linux and one for XP so that I can use whichever.<br><br>So the next meeting, before setting a date I think we should ask ourselves "how often do we want to meet? Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly."<br><br>The benefits of say a fortnightly meeting is that members tend to remember that the event is on.<br>The downside is that it will require a program of events, which will take some organizing and after a while this become difficult to manage.<br><br>The other issue is do we want to run a proper club, with chairman, treasurer etc. <br>My own view is
to stay away from those commitments.<br><br>Another issue is how big do we want this group to become. Our last meeting was quite sociable, do we want a club with say 50 members.<br><br>Another beef that I have is that some clubs develop into a situation whereby a handful of people do all the work while the other 45 turn up to be entertained, a cheap night out. You only get out what you put in. Do we want the group to develop in this way?<br>So for my part I don't mind doing my bit and within my limited knowledge helping out but I'm not prepared to run the whole show. Like David I don't have the time.<br><br>Any way, what do you all think? <br><br>Regards Roger<br></td></tr></table><br>
