I'm thinking of registering www.uklug.org.uk - has anyone been to
www.itlug.org ?  That's brilliant and the same sort of thing I want to
do.  I've got a prototype logo done in POV-RAY - anyone is welcome to do
a superior one.

Current design spec for UKLUG:

3-pane display;

|---------|
|---------|
|  |      |
|  |      |
|  |      |
-----------

Hope that's clear, the top pane will have some vital links, Entertainer,
Busy-Bee, loc.uk and a few other shops that have appeared online as well
as a way back to the main UKLUG site.  When a link on the top pane is
clicked the destination web page will replace the two panes at the
bottom which are UKLUG specific.
The left pane will be the links for the site, the right pane the
information.
Ideas for left pane links:

Map
LEGOFest details:
Links to past Fest photos which are quite spread out, details of past
Fests as well as a link to come.to/legofest for the latest one.
Links to all UK LEGO Homepages, e-mails too if specifically requested.
LEGO UK addresses, as well as the new details about LEGO North Europe
based in Slough.
As well as other ideas I've just seen as ITLUG.

I had a brief fiddle about with this, but can no longer work on it due to
my monitor breaking.  I think the map was more of a nice gimmick than
anything essential anyway.

Well it can be added later.

As for breaking down the loc.uk content into specialized categories, I
personally prefer to get all my UK Lego info in one place - even the
dreaded trade posts.

I agree - we battled with Todd to get rid of the 88 useless groups for
ages.  The only case for another group is for LOCAL auctions and sales.

Couldn't connect to www.freenetnames.co.uk

That's because it's www.freenetname.co.uk :-)
