Members will remember that in order to encourage the formation of area groups to further enjoy the benefits of
membership, the committee agreed to publish the names and contact details of the area leaders.

Please contact the Secretary if you intend to form an area group. Paul King our President can assist
potential leaders and visit members involved if a group is formed in the UK.

Each group has a section on our forum for the area group members to keep in touch.

Also note that the Webmaster can offer a merg orientated email alias for any group organiser. . .
eg. Yourgroup@merg.org.uk

Just request it from Keith Norgrove by email to: webmaster@merg.org.uk

The group

The MERG Hants and Dorset area group started off as the Poole Group 5 years ago but expanded as it generated interest from a wider region. As it is we frequently attract visitors from outside Hampshire and Dorset and indeed any MERG (or non-MERG) member is welcome.

We meet once a quarter, usually in one of the member's homes. We have found over the years that people do not need a specific programme but just like to meet to chat and perhaps operate a layout. We usually try and have something in mind for discussion but rarely a formal speaker as such.

Our mailing list for meetings has about 35 names on it and our meetings are usually 10-12 people.
