[Wolves] The LUGMaster christmas message

[Helen Rose]

I couldnt agree more with all of it. The good thing
about the lug is that it is just a group of friends
meeting up and talking about stuff they enjoy, which i
guess may make it harder for new people, just as it
would anyone trying to get on with a new group of
people who allready know each other. But this is a
defninate plus for the lug.. Even for the more
clueless ammoungst us /me hangs head in shame, its
less threatening cuz everyone can laugh at knob jokes!
Have fanatastic xmas every one
and catch you in the new year some times
