[cumbria_lug] 28th August CLUG Meeting

Fri Sep 16 18:19:53 UTC 2011

@Damian, If I recall correctly... you can set up the dates on Google
Calendar, make it public, and set the mailing list address as the reminder
e-mail which will just forward the info off to everyone. I may experiment
with this to see if my theory is correct.
