(...) Maybe it's really a MUGfest. Since it's their home game. How about a national convention in Albury/Wodonga sometime (Syd/Mel-centric). Canberra would be the obvious choice, Albury may be cheaper. (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au)

If we're gonna try this, maybe we should try to get a (semi-)serious layout happening in Melbourne for the StudFest in June? Just to give it a go, and see what we're doing wrong 8?)
