[Wylug-discuss] Richard Stallman - University of Lincoln - 29th November

[John R. Hudson]

The venue is lovely. I went to a systems conference there in the 1990s
and thoroughly enjoyed it - however, a winter evening will probably not
show off the venue to best effect.

Given the time, it is even practical to go by train as there are trains
back to Leeds around 8.30 and 9.30.
