[LRUG] pre-conf bash

[John Hornbaker]

Thanks Murray. I'll be back on August 30th myself.

Since booking a pub doesn't seem crucial, there's not much rush. I'll  
check with Wendy to see when she is mailing conference attendees so  
we can get the word out. This may be before you return--but we can  
sort out a good pub here on the list if need be.

John
