Sorry for the confusion. (It really isn't a good advert for PLUG!) Most of the meetings in the past couple of years have been held in my company's workshop (Belgic Sq, Fengate). That arrangement started when the previous venue became unavailable and was one of those temporary arrangements that kinda "stuck". However, over the past few months my own availability has been limited by work, and at the same time Middleton School was looking for some support starting a project using Linux Terminal Server, and meetings made a temporary move there which has similarly become kinda permanent as long as we're welcome (except at school holidays when the school is not surprisingly shut). So the upshot of the conversation on the list is that I've confirmed I'm not available next Tuesday (and therefore our workshop isn't), and Andy has confirmed that the school is available, so the meeting will be there. I believe that the meeting will be at 7:30pm, at Middleton School in Bretton (PE3 9XJ). Your earlier enquiry wasn't so much as ignored but not answered because I suspect nobody really knew the answer.... Bear with us, we'll get more organised, we're in something of a transitional period. In the meantime however we're all still pretty helpful on the mailing list and you (and any other newcomers) will be very welcome at the meetings wherever they are. As a general rule: If you want to take your own hardware you can, although if you need some hardware from the host let them know (eg if you want to bring a desktop PC and want to borrow a keyboard or monitor for the night) so they can say whether or not they can help. The 50p for tea/coffee/biscuits is basically to avoid the host being out of pocket from providing those things. The format of the meetings is usually informal "chat" and support for any problems people bring along. More formal presentations have been arranged in the past and it would be good to do that on occassions in the future, it just needs volunteers to do it and/or suggestions for topics. Hope all that helps. And I personally would like to thank you for your persistence, many a lesser person would have given up long ago! -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
