I agree to a point - let's not forget that these two LUGs have a *lot*
more members, as well as other interesting people that drop in from time
to time purely because they're in London. I like GLLUG/Lonix and go along
to meetings when I can but we need to get the momentum going here first.

(side point: I need to figure out when their Christmas dinner is...)

They're specifically for socialising and normally meet in pubs - I've been
trying to promote the idea of separate pub meets for those of us who just
fancy a drink from time to time as well as regular "GLLUG style" meets.

Yeah, luckily for them they've also got the kind of facilities that John
and others can get access to - comes with being where they are I suppose
:) I still owe them a DeCSS talk - but it might be a few years late now.
