Plus the timing would have to suit cheap travel times, outside school hols, not clashing with the annual peach festival being held (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au)

| | | | | | | | This is getting silly. I hereby formally suggest we call Sydney-siders SLUGs, and get-togethers (no matter what area) StudFests. (SLUGs can call their get-togethers StudFest, SlugFest, Brick-o-rama, WWF, or whatever takes their fancy!!) ROSCO Martin (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au)
