[HLUG] November Meeting Notes

[Morven Lewis-Everley]

"a captive audience" Oh dear... Was that a pun that found its way in there?

As for the meeting, was a lot of fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am glad the
wi-fi worked with no issues, because we could just put down the computers
and try to help each other out and just have a bit of a chat.

Also, I believe the new guys name was Rob?
