[plug] Family membership

[Daniel Pearson]

Greetings,

I know of a list member who is eager to bring his family on board (I 
wonder if he mentioned it at the AGM/Workshop and that is why this 
discussion has taken place?). Shall e-mail him off-list and ask for his 
input, if you like?

Cheers; Dan
