[Gareth Eason]

	   Hi,

	Please find the minutes of the AGM below. Any errors or omissions are
undoubtedly my fault, and should be notified to the secretary :)

	Thanks to all who attended, all who spoke and all who joined in the various
discussions in the pub afterwards. It was a thoroughly enjoyable meet up and
hopefully sets the tone for yet another year of ILUG.

	Best regards,
