Sorry Lance,

I type faster than I think - and that doesn't
involve me typing very fast ;-)

Yes, we've always prided ourselves on that. However it
may change in the autumn (announcement here when I've
confirmed a couple of things).

Ah, well, when I started the LUG there was a 
Halton&Widnes LUG, and a Liverpool LUG (both
now defunct), and I assumed that the large towns
of North Cheshire would soon generate their own
LUGs, so partly for that reason I called it
_South_ Cheshire LUG - but mostly because
``SCLUG'' sounded good 8-/

Anyway we have members across Cheshire, as well
as from N Staffs, Clwyd (or whatever it's called
now) and Greater Manchester, as well as a couple
of lurkers from further afield.

Ah, I hope that doesn't involve organo-phosphates,
you know we Logical Positivists can't abide such
things - next thing we'll be letting in the 
deconstructionalists and then where will we be?
