I'm not opposed to the idea, but I know a bring a box meeting on a Saturday is very popular. A tech meeting or social in the evening on a weekday is fine if it's possible to find a location and enough warm bodies. Our neighbours to the north only do a monthly social meeting in Reading at a pub (SCLUG) and the London.pm do more frequently than monthly social meetings with less frequent technical meetings. Surrey have done some pub meets as well as their normal Bring and Box meetings. Were you thinking of a pub meeting for a few hours after work, and if so where? Or were you thinking of a technical meeting - a few presentations and such? Given the limited time in an evening some people won't travel, which is a problem in a rural county like Hampshire. The London.pm have plenty of social meetings because it's easy on London to nip to the pub and get home at a sensible time, it's harder to arrange in Hampshire. http://www.sclug.org.uk/ http://london.pm.org/meetings/ http://www.surrey.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PubMeets > Alan. > > > Hants LUG Chairman wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Just a quick reminder about our next two meetings. > > > > Saturday 13 December at the University of Surrey in Guildford with the > > Surrey > > LUG.
