We’d love to hear it!</div><div><br></div><div>Get in touch with us on <a href="mailto:talks@lrug.org" target="_blank">talks@lrug.org</a> to volunteer and we’ll help you in any way you need to turn that idea into a great talk.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Murray & the rest of the organising team</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
