Speaking to a few of the LUG members and reading some of the feedback to your post I think the meetings definitely need an agenda.

Options
1. Create a long term schedule starting off with the basics, working through to the more technical stuff. 
 
2. Have the first half of each meeting on the basics and then maybe the last hour or so on the more advanced stuff.

3. Alternate meetings discussing the basics and more advanced topics

The agenda for each meeting should be posted well in advance so that anyone interested can make arrangements to attend. I think we should advertise the fact more that anyone new to Linux can come along for a demo, get advice or help installing Linux for the first time.
