[ILUG] AGM Annoucement

  Empty rooms were never the problem; I think we used to get between 40 and

Just to add my 2c worth.

Being based in Belfast I wont be able to attend the AGM due to time 
constraints so please accept my apologies.

Mind you a thought for next year might be to turn the AGM into an 
all-day-Saturday event combining with (for example) a keynote speaker? 
This would make travelling from all arts and parts a more attractive 
proposition.

Im guessing that members of  ILUG are spead the length and breath of  
Ireland and indeed further afield so I would think that the mailing list 
is the optimum means of communication and interaction.  Just because 
there isnt many F2F's dosent  mean that a LUG cant function 
effectively?  For that matter what about regional events?

Someone did post a quiz some little while back which was very 
interesting any more of the same to follow?
