This gets my vote.

I think I'm much the same - it'd be nice to have more "hands-on" 
meetings. Yesterday was a laugh because it randomly turned into an 
ad-hoc installfest, and it'd be good to have a few more talks in my 
opinion (still waiting, Morley...)! I'd have been less inclined to sit 
around through a LUG meet in the pub with a pink iMac sat next to me, 
and I'm sure Ad wouldn't have been keen on carrying it through town 
after dark either ;-)

Also, one idea which might be worth considering is inviting the 
neighbouring LUGs to the talks - new faces and fresh blood to the LUG 
is always good in my book.

I also think that the meals are pretty popular, and I'd definitely be 
up for mixing up the venue a bit. Curry, pie, pub grub, Chinese - I'm 
happy as long as I get fed! The downside of this is obviously that new 
people will have to watch the list/website to see where we're going to 
be, but that's the case now anyway because we might be at yours, at 
t'pub, or occasionally at the Pie Factory.

Cheers,

Chris
