Dear WAMUG members

Write this in your diaries now:

GMUG Computer Showcase 2002
Saturday October 19th 2002
Geraldton Regional Art Gallery
Cnr Chapman Rd and Durlacher St

What about coming up to sunny Geraldton and joining in the fun and 
action. There's good accommodation and great restaurants.

Following the success of last year's Showcase, and hopefully again 
attracting good sponsorship, this year's Showcase planning is 
progressing well. Last year Apple Computer and iinet had sponsors 
naming rights.

I invite you to contact me for further details and will keep this 
maining list updated of our progress. Below is a tenative list of 
workshops and show-and-tell presentations. Entry will be free.
