Hi Alan,

There are occasional meet's in Paignton either at the Shoreline Cafe or 
the Rugby Club, other than that I think one is being arranged in 
Mid/North Devon.

On 16th August we're hopefully going to have a stand at the Exeter Fun 
Day at Heavitree Hospital.  You're welcome to come along, we're hoping 
we can spread the word about Linux and maybe recruit some more members, 
or at least give out some CDs and demonstrate it running on a couple of 
laptops.

I'm currently also involved with setting up a Linux Terminal Server 
installation at the Exwick Community Centre in Exeter, all being well 
when the installation is finished we'll be able to use the facilities 
there for meetings (although we'd have to possibly pay to use the venue).

I'm also hoping that we could find some more venues in Torbay and around 
Devon & Cornwall.  I'm now based at Palm FM for my job and they have a 
small meeting room.  I'm going to ask if we could possibly use the 
facilities one evening or Saturday/Sunday (they have internet access, I 
could bring along a wireless router to provide internet access).

Rob
