I think one of the good things about the DCGLUG is the wide range of skills we all have so say one of us for instance in Torbay is having a problem, someone in Cornwall or North Devon maybe might be able to help, just as if maybe someone down in in Hayle for instance might be able to get help from someone in Exeter or Plymouth. Hopefully with any luck by the end of the summer we should have the Exwick Community Centre all finished and ready for also hosting LUG meets in the Exeter area, and well I'm not sure what is going on in North Devon. There was talk of a meet but I don't know what has happened with regards to that, but I think at the end of the day we should follow Paul's example, setup a meeting on a certain day and stick to it, then whoever can come along will come along rather than trying to agree dates and times with everyone and then have it not happen. Even if it's a social meeting at a local pub/cafe etc (that way you can keep the costs down to a minimum and if no one turns up then all you've lost out on is a bit of time).
