Hi Rob

Thanks for your comments, several others are making the same 
observations, so this is encouraging. We'll keep everyone 
posted as plans and dates and locations develop.

We'll probably hold the first meeting near the end of January.

We think this will be an exciting new addition 
to the benefits of VLUG membership.

We can look at that idea as well. I know at least one other group 
in Victoria, WEAV - the Web Enthusiasts Association of Victoria, 
www.weav.bc.ca   is also looking at that application.
