Hi everyone !! :-)

This happens to be Richard Spowart (Felice of the Maggie Team) -
doing the report this time, as a certain other person (Dave)
decided to drop out after being voted in as secretary ... :-)

Quite a large amount of members attended the recent WAG meeting
on the 14th of December, 1996, the only regular member missing was
in the shape of Si Gardner, who had a bit of a cold. :-(

Myself, Chris Holland, Dave Hollis and a guy called Stuart were
there, along with Colin Fisher-McAllum, Simon Coward, Roy Goring,
Mick Lock, Chris Good and another guy from Oxford whose name I
forget right now.  Also Chris Bloy attended.

However, we were just the regulars ... a few other people also
turned up, whose names I didn't catch, but they appeared to enjoy
the meeting as it went along.

As this meet was the AGM, voting was carried out for all of the
positions.  Mick Lock was re-elected as WAGmaster, Roy Goring as
WebMaster, Norman Bland as Treasurer and Dave Hollis (editor of
ST+ diskmag).

The general theme of the meeting was down to the voting etc, but
probably the program that was in use most of the afternoon was
one of the final beta versions of WebSpinner, the new prog from
42BBS Wonderprogrammer, Simon Coward.

Virtually everyone helped Roy sort out the fact that the shiny
new CD-ROM drive he'd bought was ... um ... a faulty one.  Luckily
Col managed to bring his identical one with him, so this was OK.

Mick Lock brought a copy of PixArt 3 with him with the intention of
trying it out .. but he couldn't find anywhere to set up his ST.
There were 5 Falcons and 1 ST setup (including monitors) on the
table, so it was a bit of a squeeze.

The guy from Oxford had part of his ST housed inside a PC case,
with the Freekeys separate keyboard unit from Sys Sols.  He looked
to be into music and MIDI, judging by the extra dangly bits and
pieces that were protruding from his ST's cartridge port !!

The meeting ended shortly after tea, with Chris's Holland and Bloy
being sent round to the fish shop to get everyone some fish and
chips.

The next meeting was fixed for the 18th of January 1997, hopefully
we'll see you there same time same place, eh !!

As I have volunteered and made a verbal agreement with Roy to
produce this meeting text, I have decided to stand for the post of
Secretary at the next meeting.  Hopefully you'll all support me.
