Hello everyone,

I am looking to see if there is enough interest to get a LUG started here in
Ottawa, Canada and I have several questions for the experienced LUG members.

My first question is, how many people constitute a group? I know 1 is person,
2 is a couple of people, 3 is a few.:-) But when do you have a group? In other
words, what kind of numbers did each of the other LUG's have when first
starting?

My next question is, is it hard to get a group together when interests my
vary? i.e. Trains, space, castle, town, etc... Would you break up the meetings
into specific themes or would you put it all together or what?

Thirdly, what is a good minimum age to have?

Finally, how do you break up responsability, so that not one individual
is "carrying" the group?

Thanks in advance for your counsel.
