That was a mouthfull wasn't it??
Very well put but I don't agree with all of it (democracy in action)
I really believe there are other reasons that we don't gather as much any more
but am not going to spell them out on this forum.
Perhaps we should all try and gather for a gathering quite soon and all talk
about our feelings about BRISLUG as a whole and which way we are heading as a
group now?
It has been 6 years since our conception and perhaps a reengineering session
(like that one) would be a good idea (Gary tune on to loc.au and have a read
will you)??
I was under the recent impression that either Gary or Mark were going to host
one very very soon???
Aaron my appologies for leaving you off the first list my memory gets hazier
each day (must be the blood going through th emachine 3 times aweek)
(Thats my excuse anyway).
Come on guys (figure of speach Kerry) lets kick start this group again hey
remember we were the first to start in Australia lets see how many of all the
members we can get to a gathering.
Well that's my 20c worth sorry to take so long to say it
Cheers to All
(Tim thanks for bringing me back to the fold)
(Kerry thanks for the reason to write)

I think it was "Space BUG"
