[cumbria_lug] Meeting dates?

[Damian Hellstrom]

Yeh, I'll do that - good advice, that man. I'll arrange a nite in The
Boardroom, Carlisle, once or even twice a month (so if ppl can't make 1,
they may be able to make the other). It's never full of louts & the atmos
is good. I'll have Tux sitting on the table.  Watch this space, everyone...
