[TynesideLUG] Greetings list!

[Derek Frost]

Hi Casey,

Welcome to our new mailing list, you're the first person to post on it!
It's only been up for a couple of weeks and there are currently only 6
members.

Our group has been meeting monthly for about 14 years. Unfortunately our
site and mailing lists were hosted by a member who left a couple of
years ago and we lost control of these. We've only now set up
replacements and members are slowly signing up to the new list. As the
old list no longer works so we can't announce the new one.

We have a range of Linux experience ranging from server to desktop
systems and we would be happy to offer what assistance we can.

Regards, Derek
