Seriously, I know you'd be in for a long drive, but I hope you can make it out
for a meeting at some point.  And if you can find someone closer to your area,
set up a NELUG meeting out there!  Maybe you can make us drive out to you. :D

I would just like to throw in my 2 cents and say that I would be real excited
if folks wanted to have NELUG meetings in other parts of New England.  We have
a very well established group in the Greater Boston Area that keeps our general
meeting attendance at a consistant 15 to 20 people with special events
occasionally drawing even more.

That said, we started out with meetings of 4 or 5 which at the time I thought
was unbelievable!!!  Now I am disappointed if we have less than 10 people for
most functions.  (Although some events like Brikwars are pretty specialized so
head count tends to be lower at those events).

I guess what I am trying to say is that if there are 3 or 4 people in an area
outside of the Greater Boston area don't feel shy about having a meeting.  I
personally couldn't travel very far very often for a meeting but every once in
a while a change of scenery would be nice.  Also there are things like Train
Shows in other parts of New England that I would love NELUG to participate in
but without a local contingent to organize the display it makes it nearly
impossible to pull off.  Right now I know there are Greenberg shows in Hartford
and Providence along with the Wilmington MA shows that we currently do.

I would definitly make it for a day at one of these shows and make sure the
NELUG tables were available along with some of my MOC's.  I just can't commit
to all 3 days when the commute is so long.


Either way we love having new faces at our Waltham meetings so if you can't get
a group going elsewhere and you can make the trek then we would love to see
you.

Actually, I've been meaning to ask (and this seems like an appropriate time): I live fairly close to the MA/RI boarder. Are there any people in the area who'd like to get together sometime? I wouldn't mind trying that at some point. I like the (...)

(...) More or less all of the above, if not more. :D Seriously, pretty much anything. A lot of the meetings have three basic phases: Phase 1: Meet up at The Construction Site, look over the new sets they have in, and buy stuff. Phase 2: Wander over (...)
