I think you've contributed a lot Syd, as the good meetings in Norwich have shown. I hope that someone else from near Norwich steps forward to fill your shoes. Best wishes in whatever it is you are going to do.

To all ALUGers:

Unfortunately various events and commitments mean that I will be curtailing some of my extra activities for a while. These will have to include the amount of time I spend being involved with mailing lists etc and going to meetings of various types including ALUG.

I hope that the evening meetings will continue regularly and that the meeting planned for the end of June at UEA is also very successful. Note that MJR will give a talk. More details on the website.

Maybe one of the Norwich regulars could volunteer to announce the monthly meetings to the lists.

I will probably not be reading the list for some time so if there are any comments that you want to be sure that I see, please direct them to my email address.

Best wishes to all and many thanks for all the advice and support over the past three years. Hopefully I have contributed something useful in return.

Dear Syd, May your events and commitments turn out well. I have much appreciated everything I have seen you post to ALUG and admire the solid effort you have made for so long to keep the meetings program moving! Sorry I have not managed to turn up very often, to appreciate them in person. Many thanks for all that. Please return to us when you can. meanwhile, you will be missed. All best wishes, good luck, Ted.
