I think the scatter gun too - all avenues are good in promoting ourselves - especially those avenues that are widely used by computer folk.

Thanks for trying Hugh; I suggest

<li>you do it,</li>
<li>set your rules & those who don't like them can just not registered and keep moaning. They will be free to do so.</li>

If you wait for everybody to agree nothing will ever happen.

I like the idea of using Meetup because it opens the doors for others
<br/> outside the WellyLUG community as well. There are already a fair
<br/> number of techy groups on Meetup - I'm sure we could get some numbers
<br/> from there as well. Using Meetup, we could announce stuff like
<br/> Installfests, which may encourage newbies to learn more about Linux
<br/> and FLOSS culture.

<br/> Very good point, if one does not use the actual tools of communication
<br/> one might just as well do nothing.

<br/> I would agree. By posting the initial message I was hoping to start
<br/> something, and will continue down that track until it all falls into
<br/> place. Facebook is one avenue, as is Meetup, as is a whole raft of
<br/> things. I'm just trying to gauge the best combination of tools for
<br/> communication for the group.
