Glad you felt welcome Ian.

Meetings like tonight always make me feel a bit uncomfortable because
there isn't really a central theme or presentation and I worry that some
people may not feel able to get help or talk about the issues they want
to.

In future we will hopefully find a venue which allows us to have a
proper talk, and a whiteboard or something where people can put up topic
ideas or questions, and of course we need access to decent beer as well.

The only good thing about Brewsters is the central location.

Actions for next meeting (presumably January?):

Good turnout tonight fellas (+ Janet).
Please get involved as much as you are able, the group needs people to
step up and help move things on, especially extra things like install
days.
