This group started up a while back but we haven't heard much from them (or
anything?).  I think we formally contacted them but got no reply.  Humbug
has certainly been considered a defacto LUG for many many years (but I'm
glad we have the broader focus).

There's a new LUG on the Gold Coast which seems very Humbug-like in its
meetings (from what I've read).  I intend to visit one day.  I wouldn't be
surprised if its founders had visited Humbug at some stage.  The founder
of the previous GC LUG (really a Bond Uni LUG) certainly visited Humbug
several times for advice on starting a LUG, etc.  I think in the end Bond
didn't have the critial mass to start a LUG at the time (must have been
1998 or so).

Cheers,
