Grahame, for yourself and others who could not make the AGM, my
enlistment to the committee was soley with "Fests" in mind. "Fests" will
essentially be my sole SLUG focus and I'm going to be canvassing my
ideas across the list shortly. The last fest we held, while only low in
numbers comparatively (about 30) was a enjoyed by all who attended and
is a style I hope to take to other small and large fests we organise.
Over the next 12 months I hope to lay a blueprint for SLUG fests that
will be able to continue rolling regardless of who is on the committee
each year.
All ideas are welcome (and will be pilfered).
