This could be backed up to 2000-01-15, I have an e-mail from Mike Walsh
dated then where he reports securing www.nclug.net. Our discussion about
forming the group however extends back to 1999-08-06 or thereabouts,
here is a pointer to the first formal announcement on Lugnet of the
intent to form a group (it may even be worth having 2 dates in the
listing, but then maybe it doesn't really matter):

What is clear is that a huge wave of organizing started in the 2nd half
of 1999, and NCLUG is definitely part of that wave.
