[HLUG] New HLUG website re-incarnation

[dicegeorge at hotmail dot com]

good idea,
hlug.org.u


hlug.org expired on 01/01/2009 and is pending renewal or deletion

ooh its a linux site already - you could try and nick it
then ask for a link back to hlug.org.uk..

and hlug.com could be handy for your viagra needs...
