[Klug-general] Future of KLUG, an offer/idea

[Luc Tidy]

Hi all,

I've been busy lately with PhD shenanigans, and it's a shame that KLUG 
is going through some troubled times. I understand ICMP, which some of 
us are involved with, is going well and has offered up hosting in the 
past. Without wanting to be doom mongering, I would like to put an idea 
in the pot that would provide an option for KLUG.

For the past five years I have been running a tabletop gaming society 
over at the University of Greenwich at Medway. Having done this for so 
long I am aware of the paperwork that UMSA - the Universities at Medway 
Student Association - require.

I can appreciate this is not in the spirit of being able to move around, 
but I can guarantee a regular booking in a lecture room with 
projectors/whiteboards and food facilities fairly close by. Being a 
student society, it will require student input but with two of the three 
campuses offering degrees in IT/CompSci/CompEng this may also increase 
membership - and currently plug a hole that UMSA has; as it has no 
computer soc.

To allay concerns, outside entities are more than happy to come along - 
as long as we're catering to students it works; having done this with my 
tabletop gaming society for a while now. Similarly bar the holiday 
period, this can be run year around, and a Saturday slot can be kept; or 
other dates and frequencies are available.

What are your thoughts?
