[cumbria_lug] Ideas for meetings...

[Jen Phillips]

Some good suggestions. Here are my thoughts:

Coding.
I don't code. Can't, and have no particular reason or inclination to learn. 
However, I'm willing to play guinea pig to anyone who has code they want me 
to test. So a coding night could be good.

Show & tell
That'd be good. I'd be interested to here what LUG members are up to. I'm sure 
you don't spend your time living under rocks, after all.

How-to
Could also be good, but it'd be difficult to find something that people: A are 
interested in; B don't already know; and C is the right technical level for 
people to learn in an evening.

Other nights
Weekends are best for me, because I'm busy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and 
Thursday nights. That said, if meets happen on other nights sometimes so that 
others can get there, go ahead.

Location
I'll travel up to an hour's drive from Carlisle, though the closer it is, the 
more likely I am to turn up. Office space to bring PCs along would be good if 
we can find it. Our house is big enough to be semi-adaptable so we could have 
a few machines up and running. I'd be willing to pay a couple of quid to 
cover room hire if needed.

So, yeah, whatever, count me in. We just need people to come forward and say 
"I want to run an evening on..." I'm racking my brains for something I could 
do, but I really don't think there is. Maybe in a few years, and in the mean 
time, I'm happy to play hostess and provide cups of tea and coffee :-)

Hugs,
