I'll be honest and say I didn't think of that - I don't want to stop non-uni 
members from taking part in any meetings, of course (I only think it would be 
a nice addition to have).

I think I'll look into it further, and if there's no way non-members can still 
be part of the LUG without joining LUSU (which atm costs #10, if it was free 
then it wouldn't be much of a problem) then I'll drop the idea.


Clair - if anyone has any Clue about this, please do let me know.
