Seems a little enthusiastic ;) Are these people that have never used Linux 
that are interested in using/abusing it ?

If you mean ForLinux I think they're still alive...

I would have thought an informal would be more inline with the current 
Newark LUG population without the need to hire or specially get space 
somewhere but it depends what your aims are I guess. Cant say I've ever been 
in the Crown & Mitre, think the last pub I went into in Newark was the 
Wheatsheaf a few years ago - now days I just stare into space in the Turks 
Head in Balderton and think about taking over the world...
