Well, thanks very much (sarcastic). We in Holsworthy deliberately set
the meeting to be a fortnight away from the one in Paignton
Its true, it was discussed at the last meeting and we felt that people
halfway(ish) between the two may benefit or at least have the option too
attend either or both meeting if they were offset, hence the 6 weeks
between the May and the June meeting.

I'm not as upset as I can tell Neil is, but I am curious as to why the
install day was set on the same date, when we had purposely gone an
extra two weeks at this end without a meeting to generate this offset in
dates.

I gather this 'install day' is just two or 3 of us helping one person 
install Linux.  To be honest I'd hardly call it a meeting, not in the 
general sense of having a normal meeting.  I wouldn't expect that many 
people would turn up and no one is forcing anyone to go to any LUG meeting.
Paul could have possibly worded it better.  It's not going to be a big 
install day with 10's or 100's of people turning up.
I gather that Paul chose this date too because it was when we were free 
(for instance I'm busy this weekend, and the weekend of the 26th, can't 
speak for Paul) and possibly Paul would feel more confident if a couple 
of us from Torbay (most probably Tom and I, maybe Rhia too) give him a hand.
