If our ideas about meeting at Liskeard School or St Agnes are not to be
fulfilled soon, I am happy to offer a meeting at my home near Godolphin.
The first two have priority as we have talked about them.

What I could gain from it for myself, just to put this up front, is the
possibility of getting a network up with wireless for the laptops (one
Windows and one dual), cable to one Windows and 2 Linux desktops, 2
printers (one on the Windows machine, the other a Linux) and other
hardware pre-prepared like a network storage disc. This would need
someone happy to do the technical side and help ensure everything is
there for the session. I presume many, particularly new members, could
value this.

The above would be a bonus and I am happy whatever members want for
themselves, as I think a meeting our end is long overdue.

The connection is supposedly 3.6Mb/s and usually around 2Mb/s file
download. I will arrange 2 switches at either end of the house so we can
plug in or use wireless at both ends downstairs. I do have plenty of
wall sockets and extension leads. There's enough space for several
activities at once if that's how we end up - though a resume of each
would be useful.

Any interest?
