[Chester LUG] Wirral & Ellesmere Port LUG

[Dan Lynch]

Hi Paul,

I wish you the best of luck with WEP LUG. It sounds like a cool idea. I
know someone started a Runcorn LUG in the not too distant past but I don't
know if it's still going now. It's a very good idea to avoid clashing with
more established LUGs like Chester and Liverpool I'd say. I fear you may
struggle to get the numbers initially but it takes time to build up, so
don't be disheartened.

I can't help thinking people will mention wireless security (or lack of it)
every time you say WEP though. "I prefer WPA2 LUG myself". Maybe it's just
me who would feel the need to repeat that joke every time :P

Best wishes,

Dan
