I'd be more than happy to register the domain, alug.org.uk, and host the domain. Every member that joins can have a forwarding address on the domain. I'd also be more than happy to edit and administer the web pages.
With regards to advertising, perhaps in addition to making a few annoucements on the relavent linux newsgroups, I'm wondering if it's worthwhile placing a few ads in some of the trade/local papers/magazines.
Just my thoughts for the moment.

Argh. Just found I did a typo in my message, so it bounced horribly because I'm not a list member...
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your interest in the Anglian Linux User Group. This email list has been set up for general discussion about ALUG. Please check that this is what appears in your from line, else you can't send to this list: laurie@brownowl.com daniel@capricorn1.demon.co.uk A.J.Savory@uea.ac.uk Paul.Russell@uea.ac.uk W.B.Hill@uea.ac.uk eric@sponsystems.freeserve.co.uk livia@neosaur.demon.co.uk h089@uea.ac.uk D.Casal@uea.ac.uk phil@marcmstr.demon.co.uk dermot.musgrove@virgin.net richard@mieussy.freeserve.co.uk jg@cyberstorm.demon.co.uk newspost@ttfn35.freeserve.co.uk raph@panache.demon.co.uk martyn@drake.org.uk
The welcome message for this list is: * A N G L I A N L I N U X U S E R G R O U P *
This is the general discussion list alug@stu.uea.ac.uk. We welcome all help in organising the ALUG. Hopefully, this will be the main place for that. While we are not against general Linux discussion, the newsgroup uk.comp.os.linux may be more helpful/appropriate.
If you wish to get announcements of events only, please leave this list by sending "unsubscribe" in the subject line to this list and send "subscribe" in the subject line to alug-announce@stu.uea.ac.uk, without the quotes, of course.
All messages sent to the announcements list are also sent to this list by default. ---END---
Hopefully, this list will do most of the event organising, as who has free time will doubtless vary from month to month. As some of you may know, Laurie has offered Melton Grange, Suffolk, www.meltongrange.co.uk, for the first meeting. Is May Day weekend a possibility? If we had it on the Sunday, I could catch the Jazz before, perhaps ;)
Anyway, I think we need people to do these tasks pretty urgently: Make an information website Someone to tell the various places that our new LUG exists Someone to co-ordinate the first meeting Other stuff I haven't thought of
Martyn has suggested we get someone from a company using Linux to come and give a talk. I believe he's making enquiries. I suggest we get machines set up with the latest Gnome, KDE and WM there for people to have a look at, if people would volunteer, along with the obligatory install CDs...
As ever, it's over to you. I'll help when I can.
