[Scottish] The Future of the LUG

[ptb]

Hallo all : -

As an activity/interest group that can't even agree on having
any need for a customarily-adequate para-bureaucratic committee
component, SLUG would maybe feel out of place dealing with
politicians who actually want to govern and are willing to face
up to trying to do it.  So maybe the ones who are happier with
opposition jobs (aren't all three MSPs mentioned and likewise
the SSP ones 'List' as well?) would indeed be suitably
irrelevant?  Not exactly building on strengths is it?

Don't get me wrong, SLUG has been fine in terms of individual
members' achievements and help given but what has it done in
say the last six months except survive?
