I still have had no interest in this other than Martin, is anybody else interested?
Thanks Adam

Hi all,
I got this email from Josette about a week ago, (Josette is the UK marketing/user group liason person at O'Reilly) I figure that we should at least be crediting O'Reilly on the Alug website due to them giving us books for the library, so shall we stick up a banner for them also? Also who is interested in being the Safari reviewer if we go ahead with this? (I know that I am :)) I propose that we draw lots or something if more than one person wants to be the reviewer (note the free years subscription to Safari if you do it!)

Hello User Group Leader,
Due to the overwhelming success of our recent "Go On Safari" program, we have decided to offer all of you User Group leaders another chance to participate in this cool promotion for the O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf. And once again, Tim O'Reilly will be the grand prize.
Here's how it works to "Go On Safari":
1-Post a Safari announcement Post a "Go On Safari" banner ad on your user group web site, and/or run an announcement for your members in a print or email newsletter or on your email discussion list. The banner ads are available at the Safari User Group Resource page at http://ug.oreilly.com/banners/safari (After you have completed this step, please send an email with the URL or copy of the Safari announcement to josette@oreilly.co.uk.)
2-Pick a reviewer A member of your user group (you or someone you designate) reviews Safari. That person will get a free one-year subscription if they publish a review of Safari within 60 days of opening their account. (It can be published in your newsletter, on your website or email list, or in another publication altogether; please send reviews to me.)
Once you've chosen your Safari reviewer, please send me an email (josette@oreilly.co.uk), with the subject heading "Safari Subscription," listing your reviewer's name, address, email, and user group. If someone other than your reviewer should receive the banner ad or announcement text, please include that in your email. Your reviewer will receive a Safari Welcome email containing their user name and password within a week.
3-Have your members send in tips and tricks We also have an introductory program just for user group members http://www.oreilly.com/safari/ug. To enter, any of your members who sign up for our Safari 14-day free trial email (including the official reviewer) send comments on their experiences, or tips and tricks for how they used Safari (it only needs to be 2 sentences long, but it may be longer) to safari_talk@oreilly.com. ***Submitters should include your UG name in their email.***
4-Winners are picked weekly Every week someone will be chosen from the tips or comments submitted to receive fun stuff from O'Reilly (T-shirts, books, other surprises). If a member of your user group is selected, your group receives free gifts, too. Whatever the individual member receives, your UG will get one, too, to give away at your next meeting, or use however you see fit. Recipients--and their comments--will be announced in the User Group Newsletter.
5-Win a visit from Tim O'Reilly One lucky group will be selected for an on-site speaking visit from our fearless leader, Tim O'Reilly (http://tim.oreilly.com/).
About the O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf: If you're not yet familiar with the O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf, it's worth a look. With Safari, you can access over 1,000 technical books from the top technical book publishers--O'Reilly (of course), Pearson, and Microsoft Press. There is an extremely cool search capability that allows you to search through all 1,000+ books for the answer you need--or even code samples--in minutes. Check it out at: http://safari.oreilly.com/
We're looking forward to hearing what you think of the O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf
Thanks,
