Yes, but much like the 'Hutt LUG' it's not necessary for people to go to
it as well as the Wellington one - in fact it is being offered as an
alternative to those of us who find getting into Wellington a pain.

Good luck finding anywhere else with monitors, and keep in mind that with
a venue with reasonable parking (such as J'ville) bringing monitors
becomes less of an issue.

Is there really any point in running poll after poll after poll when
people can make their thoughts known via. the list?

It seems to me that there is almost certainly enough interest in a J'ville
based "off shoot" of Wellylug so it should proceed without too much
politics getting in the way.
