If it's this year's, then yes. Otherwise, no...

The other issue about this is what I like to call the "lusu owns your
soul" aspect. That is, the LUG would suddenly need a formal constitution
that is in line with the union requirements, would need at least three
officers, who would have to be current students, and so on. While this
isn't too heinous, I can see people not liking it. Furthermore, we'd
also have to keep formal membership and only allow people to join if
they have a purple or purple-and-white (non-student) card. Then any
activity which has any H&S aspects or possibly insurance liabilities
would have to be restricted to members only.

Not meaning to rain on any parades, but just pointing some other aspects
to it.
