[Blackpool] Saturday's LUG 10/07/2010

[Les]

Hi Rick

Good thinking mate, follow up that line of thinking and if you need any
help or resources give me a shout.

Whenever you can get to a meeting, let me know via twitter / IM etc and
I will make sure I am there.

And as you have probably read on my previous email to Tony, I don't like
bars / pubs for meetings either so I will try to steer us away from
there.

Mike, what is the maximum safe number of attendees that we could
accomodate at your office?

Thanks everyone

Les
