I'm happy to have my name on the site like this.  But would ask that the
scarborough-admin at mailman.lug.org.uk address be used.  To prevent further
harvesting of my address by spammers.

How about a bring a box day, similar to the one held by YLUG.  Could we
sweettalk YCoast college into allowing us the use of a room and maybe an
Internet connection.  We may even get them to see it as a promotion for their
'Introduction to Linux' course proposed for next year.  How about it Mike?

What about another gaming evening.  I'm not fussed about games myself, but
lots of you are!  The networking side of it interests me, and games are always
going to appeal to many.

My tuppence ha'penny worth anyway.

Toodle pip,
