Unfortunately it's just too good. Door takings have not covered expenses for about the last 3 months. We are eating into the pot of earnings from the Installfest. Therefore I'd like to suggest that we limit the number of hall meetings to 4 to 6 at the most during the coming year. At our end of the table we formed a consensus that an Installfest at the end of March would probably be a good idea. Followed perhaps by a Fix-it-up evening during April or May? For hardy souls, a repeat Gentoo Installfest using a distcc compile farm is a possibility? imho, we _DO_ need to have an AGM to attempt to decide whether we want the CLUG to become a formal entity, or revert to a strictly mailing-list affair, or indeed something in between, i.e. carry on as we are. Personally I don't want to be involved at the committee level for the former, but would like to feel that I was a member of something a bit more concrete than just an e-mail list. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB.
