Lo Mat -- the best place to advertise is probably the Linux mags, and LXF
has a nice map and list at the back of each issue. Unfortunately it still
lists Jamie Dainton as the chap to contact -- I'll speak to the guys and
get it updated. Who is the boss of this thesedays?

Hrm, not sure if pubs would be such a good idea -- there's already been
plenty of debate on this list, so adding alcohol to the mix might not help
matters much :)

That's the problem with Cumbria -- despite being one of the best counties
(there's nothing like the Lakes), it's gigantic. Keswick would be a very
long way for us Furnessians to travel, so maybe we should all state our
locations and find a place which on average is closest to us all :)

Then again, that'd probably be something like Oxen Park, which is dire
(used to work there).
