Just think of all the money you've saved :)

There is a GLLUG announce list for official meets, the problem with the
Saturday meets and stuff like that is they are not official. Its just that
if a number of people are in the same area that week we might meet up.
Martin did set up a list for hosting those kind of announcements but we
always do it as such a last minute thing its hard to announce. And for any
events that are planned send them to me for the LCN <plug plug>

I'm tee-total and i still go to Lonix and GLLUG's, in some cases its the
only way to win an argument, let them get semi-plastered and then get
technical ;)

We have on rare occasions been known to go for a curry but i don't get
involved in that kind of stuff.

That had mitigating circumstances... It pissed down so we fled for cover.
Honest.

If there is a desire to hold an event somewhere other than a pub (Blasphemy
;)) does anyone have any suggestions?
