Been there. Cost is what it always comes down to.

We've had conversations about this before. Membership is sparse around 
that area and enthusiasm is even sparser. I always live to be proved 
wrong though.

A lot of work. We will need a bank account, accounts, AGM and possibly a 
few other things. If the LUG goes down that route then we all could face 
subs to cover the costs.

I don't want to put too much of a downer on things but we have to be 
realistic as to what would happen to the membership should this route be 
taken.
