I was just thinking... Perhaps if we hold this a little further out from christmas, more general members might be able to make it. I managed to miss it every time now doe to family commitments :( and I've been really wanting to get to one of these for some time. Cheers... david

End-of-year Summer BBQ
As traditional, held at Perry's and Jamie's place. Thanks for having us, and especially to Jamie for being co-opted back onto the committee for the day. We didn't quite get perfect weather, but there was still much cricket played.
Turnout wasn't hugely inspiring; there were a good number of committee and hangers-on, but the number of "general WLUG members" wasn't that great. After the effort that was put in to try and appeal to the greater membership, it was disappointing and we will re-evaluate the event next year.

Probably not a bad idea. It's meant to replace the December meeting, which would normally be around Christmas Day, but if the committee then decides to have another one I'll put it on record that we suggested it be earlier. Craig
Alternatively, how about the bbq being the first meeting of the new year in Jan/Feb? David Nicholls wrote:

Kind of defeats the point of having it instead of of the December meeting that might otherwise happen on Dec 25. Alternatively, we could have it mid Jan, and also have a January meeting; or we could flag both December and January for meetings, and just have a BBQ instead. All this is by the way at the moment because we haven't managed to book any speakers for a while. Stay tuned though, we have a good one coming up in February. Craig
