I've just arrived, grabbing a cup of tea... Where are you? I didn't notice any familiar faces yet!

Hi

Did you find us ok or not in the end? We had quite a few people ;),
including some new, and I am not sure who came exactly.

Below I am using the message I originally sent out on the mailing list
to do a meeting review type thing etc:

Oh, but I thought it was much better this year :).

Realistically I thought only about five other people would turn up, but
what actually happened well, was quite the opposite :). Also really
whilst travlilng there, I thought that maybe no one would be there once
I turned up.

Many people are secret and don't just say on the mailing list that they
are coming or so it seems, and that can depend, but that adds to the
mystery of who is really going to be at the LUG meeting or not.

Well I got exactly what I was hoping for that's for sure :), with a turn
out of 12 of us including myself (unless the count was wrong), and I
belive it was four new people this time, maybe five :). However this was
also a mixture of regular people and also people who don't seem to come
that often :), so a very good turn out indeed I think :). A turn out of
12 is more than most of the recent meetings for a long time! In fact 12
is probably the most that has been there including myself, since I
started going to them last year. except for maybe one time with more for
example or something like that.

Well that one is over now, so what I put before then, but for next
month's Saturday September 28th :).
