Hope everyone had a great Australia Day! Please note some groups will not be commencing meetings until February; it would be a good idea to confirm meeting dates of your regular groups through their websites while everyone gets back into the swing of things. If a user groups website has not been updated with meeting details for 2009 at the beginning of the week it's meetings are usually held I will assume they aren't starting until February and they will not be listed for January.
