[WaiLUG] Let's attempt to make things happen

[Steve Colebrooke]

I'm all for it too Nic and yes, the offer still stands to meet here. No
pressures, just a convenient meeting spot, plenty of parking, bench space,
chairs, internet access.

Any evening will do me, just give me a few days notice.

How about before Christmas <g>?
