FW: [Malvern] LUG Meetings.

[Ian Pascoe]

Geoff

To echo Phil's sentiments.  Many thanks for you and especially Linda putting
up with us unruley lot each month.

The hospitality was always par excellance  and the pizzas, hot uncrossed
buns, scones and especially the apple cake, will be missed.

Sounds like a good idea Phil to use the GLUG for a Geoff's replacement.

Anyone got any ideas for the vacant week - when do the Python lot meet up?

Ian

This offer was always very much appreciated and I know I can speak for all
the others who have been to 'Geoff's Place' when I say that the hospitality
was always of the highest standard.

As we have become a larger number and are meeting in different groups and at
different locations your suggestion sounds a good one.

As you all know anyone is always welcome to drop in for a chat at Creative
Spaces.

Chinese or at The Great Malvern Hotel on the 1st August.

I would like to propose that we could make a more permanent fixture of the
Gloucester LUG which is on the 3rd Tuesday - please correct me if I am wrong
Glos LUGers. In fact we could treat the Glos LUG meeting as our tecnical, I
know I am due to do a talk there in the near future when I have finished my
new GIMP presentation, so book your place early.

This way would have a meeting nearly every week if we could attend ie:

Malvern LUG 1st Tuesday
Glos LUG 3rd Tuesday
Birmingham PM last Wednesday

As there is an initiative to get the LUG's working more closely together
this would be a good start for us locally.

Thank you for your suggestion Geoff, and I hope it meets the approval of
everyone else - which I am sure it will and thanks again for your support
over the past years.

If we are all in agreement I will change the website details to reflect the
new arrangements2

Cheers

Phil
