Hey Tom :)

Agreed, it would be good to get a couple of meets arranged. The last
meet I attended was in 2007 and the LUG has been pretty dead since. I
know I might be slightly biased here, but I think it is great that
Becky is trying to get things moving again. I have complete confidence
in her abilities and would like to see her given a chance.
