A round of applause for Emma Jane Hogbin...

[Tom]

I went to the previous (May) newTLUG meeting.  There were quite a lot of 
people, so I'm surprised to hear that so few showed up to the June 
meeting.  But I'll explain why I didn't come to the June meeting.

We were told to arrive at 6:30, and that the meeting would start at 7. 
    For the May meeting I arrived at 6:30 as instructed.  It was at 
least an hour (longer I believe) before we were let in, and we had no 
idea what was going on or why because nobody told us anything.  That's 
why I didn't go to the June meeting.

I realize that nobody is being paid for any of this, so I appreciate the 
work that people are doing and the time that they are giving, but it 
seemed so unprofessional and disorganized that I didn't feel like coming 
back.

Tom.
