 | | First BUGS meet? —Timothy Gould
|
| | | Hi all, Does anyone remember when the first BUGS meet was. I'm pretty sure it was at Kerry's house in 1999 or 2000 and I know I was there but I've completely forgotten when.

Better, in fact, than me asking loads of questions would be if an active BrisLUG member edited the page themself. Its here (URL) if anyone wants to have a go. (...)
