Explored...

Apparently the Drupal 6 way is to install the "Views" module and create
a "View" which creates SQL queries with a pointy clicky interface.

I've had a quick play and ....

http://www.dcglug.org.uk/members

Currently only Admins can play with views - it looks like people with
"View" creating permissions can read almost everything in the database.
I don't think there is a problem exposing that to other members, but
they could inadvertently publish users email addresses to the Internet
where those emails are not suppose to be exposed or similar mistakes. So
 probably wise for folks know it is installed in case they have a need.

The list shows some spurious accounts - ideas on removing spammers (we
can filter on things list last logged in, email etc) welcome. They will
go from the list if they are not active (i.e. cancelled accounts aren't
shown), we can also add a list of accounts not to show.

There is some sort of "User List" in Drupal - but it doesn't seem
terribly easy to use, and is currently disabled. I didn't add URL as we
don't want to encourage spammers but others are welcome to suggest or
create better lists!
