I don't think that the LUG vs LTC thing is really relevant. As a prime
example, NALUG has done 2 trains shows, intends to do more in the future,
but has no intention or desire to form a seperate LTC - we're stunningly
informal as it is, and it would feel pretty silly to most of us, I think, to
have 2 different names for the same bunch of people.
Even though our "focus" isn't necessarily trains, we do train shows, and
IMHO, that's enough.

| There has been much discussion by groups wondering whether or not affiliation to this org would be beneficial or not. So I think that it would be helpful to discuss such a group's charter.
