If we have a large number of new users join, that would justify having 
more meetings,  don't forget there is always other groups who they can 
go to for help e.g 2600, for anyone in exeter, they hold regular meetings.

Regarding newbies, it depends on the definition,  perhaps we should put 
on the site, something about how to ask and get help, as the same 
problem applies to usenet and irc,  it's not what you ask but how you 
ask and what you have done to get help,  some times just asking someone 
to read a certain document can help,  If we are going to burn cd's then 
perhaps include the LDP docs also, a kind of Lug custom cdrom, or 
something,   I think Neil S was doing something like this ages ago.
