I agree with that, I think with a Team Leader we have someone to speak 
to if we have any issues.

I'd like to say that Alan did a great job.  I've seen his name on 
various Linux/Ubuntu related sites and even my local LUG mailing list 
too (it's good to have someone to fight the Ubuntu corner when 90% of 
the LUG are die hard Debian users).

I'm just about to vote now, hopefully I can remember my launchpad details.

Same here.  Although I could drive down to London, I wouldn't be able to 
have a drink.  One of these days though I will try and get down for a 
London party somehow.

I'd be up for one in Exeter, I could possibly book the Exwick Community 
Centre in Exeter where I am involved with installing an Ubuntu Based 
LTSP.  It's not great for parking but it is close (5 mins away) from the 
main Exeter St Davids Railway station and again about 10 mins away from 
a couple of good pubs.

Hopefully by April the kit and server should all be installed.
