 (IIRC). I started again by running ICQ searches and Linux Counter lookups for
 people in the Tayside area with "linux" listed as an interest. I sent those
 people emails asking them if they were interested in setting up a LUG and got a
 good response; someone - I believe it was Mark Harrigan - circulated an email
 on the Dundee University intranet advertising the LUG. And so the numbers grew
 in early 2003 and we eventually held an initial meeting.

 I am very glad to have seen the Tayside Linux User Group take off, with many
 keen members. I would especially like to thank Mr Harrigan for his enthusiasm
 from the start and of course Dundee University for allowing us the use of their
 facilities, which has allowed this to happen.

You even have me reading mail, there is no lug here. Ran across you by accident.
My brotherin law, lives in Monifieth, and somehow I found you listed.
Sorry I have not been to any of the meetings can't get the time off.
