Indeed! I did talk about the time-honoured process of "being
volunteered" on Tuesday. :-)

Well, that's that then. He's confirmed.
I only hope he isn't scared off now. :-)

John, welcome aboard.
Chris Sawtell has indicated that he can't cope with the role of meeting
co-ordinator much longer. He has a lot on his plate (I'm sure he won't
mind me saying that on list as he has referred to it several times).
I have done some meeting co-ordination in the past but find myself too
busy these days.
Subject to anyone else having a major objection - how would you like
the job?
Regards, Nick.

Hello I am John - I came along to the Tuesday meeting for the first
time.
I enjoyed the preso and found it very informative - big thanks to
Brett..
I have some ideas for future meetings - please kick these around and
let
me know what you all think.
1) A pub quiz. I will organise the questions - I can do this for the
December mtng if people want this. We split into teams and write down
answers to the questions. The questions will be a mixture of geeky,
plus
general knowledge plus celebrity trivia. A bit of fun, really.
2) Mini presentations by members. Maybe 3 or 4 presos of 15-20 minutes
each. Topics to be something that the member has done recently, or a
topic
the member has some special skill or interest in. The main point is
that
preparing for a short preso is less of a worry / burden than doing the
full thing and more ppl can volunteer.
One other idea is to publicise the CLUG a bit more. Is there any
central
"geek events in CHCH" type of website ? If not then I will start one..
There actually are about 1 event per week of a geeky nature, believe
it or
not.
Kind regards
John Hyde
