I remember my first LUG visit, back in the old days of  The Moon Under The
Water pub, I  thought that was a good venue, why did we stop meeting there?
Anyway.... my first
 LUG visit I personally didn't find intimidating, I thoroughly enjoyed it,
even though I was the only woman, but then I feel more comfortable around
men, thats going off the subject though.

I could be wrong but it's now up to the others who rarely attend a LUG

For me its
A) Because I'm lazy and when I get home from work I just want to slob around
and just unwind, watch tv, DVDs, read etc..
When I was attending quite a few LUGS, I was a student at uni so I had more
time.
B) I'm in Birmingham, thats not really much of an issue now that I can
drive. However I haven't driven as far as Wolverhampton yet on my own <bites
nails> eeekkk.
