He found that as the years passed, Linux became so much more sophisticated and easier to install & use, the need for install-festivals and fix-up evenings became so close to zero, that the number of people in the audiences became so small that we could no longer justify the expense of hiring a hall. He also took an extended break from Christchurch last Winter, and does not now feel a personal need or urge to take on the stress of running the CLUG meetings. Many Linux user groups have mogrified into geek oriented social clubs which meet informally in licensed premises. Christopher's suggestion is that we follow that horde. One LUG with which he had a very brief contact had their meeting on the same day of the month by date. This means that the day in the week changes continually, thus avoiding continuous clashes with other activities. How does that sound to other CLUG list members? Christopher has no particular preference for a date, except that he will be otherwise occupied on the 15th. of this month. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
