Hi All,

I personally have no objection to the present form of meetings, but would
prefer a more structured approach, particularly the opportunity to see demos
etc.  Isn't the Kirkham building only a short walk from the Greyfriars
anyway, so that with an earlier start we could have the best of both worlds.

Hello Plugsters,

It has become possible that PLUG could use a room in the Kirkham building of

the University to hold monthly meetings.

Traditionally meetings have been held in the Greyfriars pub and people have 
commented on the difficulty of demonstrating Linux related things in this 
environment.
Obviously a Uni room would have better facilities for demos etc and would 
also have Internet connections and other things too (but not as many beers
on 
draught). 
There's nothing to stop us going to the pub later.

BUT.
This would mean a slightly more formal approach to meetings because they 
would not longer be held in a public place and there would need to be 
slightly more structure to the meeting itself - presentations from people
and 
so forth. Advanced planning of certain things would be required.

SO.
Although I have used contacts within the Uni to arrange this, far be it from

me to inflict this form of meeting on PLUG members if the democratic 
consensus is that the pub style meetings are perfectly suited to this group.

Please supply your comments.
Ta.
