Thank you, I think to be fair my comment on lack of support could be
aimed out side of the lug,   Like you said we put a lot of effort to
this and we have had teachers say they will come then they don't turn
up.

My reference to asking people for help is related to the fact I am in
discussions which will hopefully get some help in so wasn't directly
aimed at the LUG so I am sorry if I implied that.  However even if
that works,  I am hoping to be able to talk to schools directly.

I think going back to my question as to why people are not running
things like code clubs,  I could re-word that and ask why are places
such as schools not registering an interest so that they can find
volunteers.

Are these barriers you mentioned too much of a barrier to getting
things up and running.

Paul
