United Kingdom LEGO User Group - a group of people based in the UK to provide

Maybe because most of them haven't been asked.
Another question, what is the purpose of uklug.org.uk when you've intergrated
it all in loc.uk? Most of the stuff inside loc.uk was original UKLUG design
ideas.

Well we have a website, regular meetings and members page - that's formed
enough.
Discuss.
