HUG Meeting Number Two

Well, the vote results are in, and it seems you really want to meet up once a month rather than every two months. So be it! In the words of Winston Churchill, “democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.”

Amazingly, it’s already been almost one month since the first HUG, which means we should have a meeting next week. However I don’t think it would be fair to ask anybody to prepare a talk at this short notice. I quite like the suggestion made by Ganesh that we could alternate between more informal meetings — which could be as simple as a gathering at the pub — and more structured meetings with talks and so on. This also helps those who have to travel from further afield, as they may prefer only to attend the structured talks and skip the pub (or vice versa).

Therefore, I would like to propose a trip to the pub on Wednesday 27 June from 6:30PM. Is everybody happy with the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell, or do you have any other suggestions?

For the next structured meeting let’s tentatively suggest Wednesday 25 July. Please everybody send in your suggestions for talks — either what you would like to talk about yourself, or what you would like to hear somebody else talk about — or any other ideas you might have. Thanks, and see you at the next HUG!
