Looks vaguely familiar :) Drupal, good choice :)

Can I suggest you allow anonymous posting but set it so you have to
moderate / approve them? I have found that drupal sites which require
logins get a lot less feedback than those that allow it. Yes you might
get some spam, but you just don't approve it, or install a spam
prevention module.

I would also suggest you enable friendly URLs to get rid of the
horrid ?node= rubbish. It also means you can submit stories and use nice
urls like

http://www.nottingham.lug.org.uk/Linux_Takes_Over_World rather than
http://www.nottingham.lug.org.uk/?node=121

If you need any help setting that up let me know, I have done both
before.

Cheers,
Al.
