Do people think that there is a better way of making these things happen?
Yes - more planning and preparation. I don't like the idea of having a formal layout for meetings, but I do like the idea of having specific milestones for each meeting - ie at ALUG5 we will demonstrate foo and bar, or do bar and food.
Now as much as I *hate* to agree with Andrew...the last suggestion seems a good one...

I agree too (with no problems!). I'm also with BJ, and distrust and dislike committees. However, I don't think the ALUGs I went to were diasters, but they were somewhat disorganised. That's no big deal, IMO, although I agree that a little more structure wouldn't go amiss. The main problem, as I recall, is the time taken to set things up, and the amount of time spent helping newbies and others with specific problems on their PCs/distros. I believe that that's a major component of a LUGs raison d'etre, and long may that continue. We *all* need help from our peers and gurus at some time. We should keep it loose, but focussed...
Cheers, Laurie.
