I think it is, although I haven't been to a meeting myself.  I think aj 
and some others might've gone to one or two.

I think this has been discussed on the HUMBUG mailing lists before.  I 
think the bloke (Andrew Hatfield) who started the groups (and apparently 
is still the prime mover) showed up to HUMBUG once.  If memory serves 
correctly, some HUMBUG members went to a SEBLUG meeting or two as well, 
but I haven't heard of anything since.

The website dosen't look too bad, but the last post was in April.  I 
wonder if the club itself is still alive and kicking?

-regards,

Ben.
