Hi Robin & others -

MBUG will be relaunching in the next fortnight. The time/date for the first
meeting back
from hibernation is 6.30pm Wed Sept 8. Watch out for an email in the next couple
of days
with full details of this meeting.

But one thing that bears mentioning is that Melbourne BUG is by & for all of us.
It's not
just a BUG committee or convenors who are "running the show". A key to ensuring
that a
rejuvenated MBUG can achieve its advocacy goals is for people to get involved in
campaigns & lobbying efforts. A lack of willing hands was one of the primary
reasons why
MBUG did not take off as planned last year. If you want to suggest a campaign or
take the
lead in lobbying on a certain issue, then I'm sure that you won't get any
objections from
the other BUG members. Bring your ideas to the meeting on Sept 8 and hopefully
we can
get off to a flying start!

cheers
Justin Mansfield
