Indeed, a great offer for a venue for formal meetings/presentations should we 
organise any, however, I also like informal settings, particularly if food and 
drink are involved. I wouldn't like to totally lose a social feel though.

It's about time we starting thinking about the next meeting I guess.

I'm really not sure there'd be enough of us for a presentation just yet (I've 
given presentations to groupd of 4 or 5 before, and it's not a thrilling 
experience). However, if we can get a turnout of 10, then it would probably be 
more productive and worthwhile talking to the group as a whole in presentation 
form, before finding something to eat and drink afterward.

Unless anyone wants to organise something else, a repeat of last month would 
still be ok (last Friday of the month, 8pm until whenever, in a local pub), 
although for those of us who've already introduced ourselves to each other, it 
might be worth having a "topic for the evening", so that we can share hints, 
tips, thoughts and ideas on a common subject, rather than have me retell my 
lame stories about university life in mid-Wales. A few ideas I've had on this, 
"Making the command line less scarey", "Sharing files with Windows", and 
"Multimedia on the desktop".
