There is one typo that ispell won't get and really should be corrected... saying we 'meat regularly'. After a coupla glasses of a very nice single malt, I got images in my head of lots of men 'meating' in a room together. It's not a nice thought, and I'm rather scared, actually. Perhaps it should be corrected? ;)

And yes, I do have an incredibly dirty mind ;)

Indeed. This is probably the most important page. Even if it's a just 'we meet every last thurs. of the month, this month it's here...', at least it means people can find us.

Indeed. It's only a 2 second job to add the meeting location to the website, so there's no reason it shouldn't be on there. However, we often don't know when the meeting is that much in advance.

Think the slug idea is cool... not sure about the tux though? Maybe make it look a little cluttered? Any artists on list? ;)


In true LoG style... "It's all good stuff dear.. it's all good stuff!"

Oh Reeney... :(
