[Alasdair G Kergon]

Please would you draw the following technical event to the attention
of your members?  I hope you'll agree that we have a particularly 
strong programme this year!

As usual, UKUUG recognises membership of the other European
user groups and we offer a complimentary registration to one or two
members of the Council (or equivalent) of each national group.

PS Hope to meet some of you at LinuxTag in Germany next week. 
(I'll be on the Fedora/Red Hat stand.)
