RE: UKHA Mailing List - Future. Volume dropping month by month



Yes, the meet does help to foster the community spirit I feel - maybe
we should look at kick starting a meet again with even more helpers to
organise it? I know it was a considerable amount of work for the brave
souls who commendable organised the last few.

HA is also becoming more main-stream - maybe we should be talking about and
pushing more cutting-edge technologies - but I don't know what!!!
