Of course, if a Bunbury LUG is separate to PLUG, rather than being a 
branch of PLUG, then a WALUG  (or, WAFLUG - WA Federation of LUG's, 
or, FWALUG - Federation of WA LUG's) would need to be set up, to be a 
state parent body for LUGS within the state, and then there would be 
such issues as affiliation, and, affiliation fees, "etc, etc, etc" (to quote 
Yul Brynner).

Methinks it would be simpler to either have a Bunbury branch of PLUG, or 
to do something like what the genealogical societies tend to do; have 
members of the society, in various localities, and, members in each 
locality, hold their own meetings and events, like the "House Groups" in 
WAGS. That really, is simply a branch (by any other name) to me.
