Do you have any offers of a place to do this?  You mentioned the uni on
the train.

I think it sounds like a good idea and I'd be happy to help out
demoing/explaining and so on.

Have any other LUGs produced good leaflets etc?  I think it's important
to have something that people can take away with them as well which can
explain about linux and about local support structures (like us, and
surrounding LUGs).
