[ILUG-Social] regular drinks ?

[Niall Walsh]

I don't think anyone could guarantee a regular attendance, but the 
question is are there enough people who will collectively guarantee an 
attendence?   If everyone is doing it last minute, the chances of Joe 
Newuser walking in and finding no-one are much greater, but if every 
week someone will agree to be the patsy who is GUARANTEEING to sit there 
from 2-4 (or whatever hour(s)) then this could easily work and grow and 
be lots of fun.
   Hence I suggested an icon (cuddly Tux) which will be transferred to 
the patsy^H^H^H^H^Hvolunteer every week to show that ilug is in the pub. 
  The hard bit would be getting someone to pin themselves every week, we 
probably need 5-20 candidates to ensure it, how many have we got?

I'd be willing to guarantee my presence every (say) couple of months   
Any more patsys?
