[Klug-general] Give me an 'e' -> Pupeee/Puppy Dingo/meetings/intro

[Karl Buckland]

We simply meet wherever we can. The group has no financial side to it, so we
rely on locations being offered up for free. Besides, Ashford is quite
central in Kent, so you can easily travel wherever you happen to be.
