Hi Alex,

Like Al said, it would be great to see Scarborough LUG get off the ground again. It was a vibrant community at one point. However, again, as Al said, best to announce your intentions on the group list to make sure you have the full support of existing members. I'm sure there will be many of the lurking on the list, just waiting for someone like you to take the initiative.

Best of luck with it,
Jamie
