Hence why I surgested, We're not big in number so the IRC channel is quite
often very very quiet.  But if we all turn up for an hour or two we can be
there in great number just not all the time :)

Plus planning it round everything else. Fridays are probably best avoided
due to clashing with the socials.


Weekly might be too much so every two weeks might work better.  Not sure. We

How does every 10 days sound. But if we plan a time for the first meet we
can decide then :) So rather than talk any longer here is a suggestion.

Time: 20:00 - 22:00 (If your late it does not matter if you need to leave
early who cares)
Location: Your arm chair (irc://irc.lug.org.uk/#klug)
When: Next Mon 10th December
