New role at AdSSUG

A couple of months ago, Jeremy Huppatz asked for volunteers to become part of a committee to help run the Adelaide SQL Server User Group. I think it's a worthwhile group, so I put my hand up. Now he's stepping right out of it, so now I'm the group president.

I feel like this has been a bad month to take over. I was asked a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to overstep my bounds until it had been cleared with the rest of the committee. So now it's official, and I'm now trying to make sure that the first meeting is arranged properly - it's on Monday! It's been pencilled in (and almost completely arranged) for a few weeks, but today it still needed to be advertised!

Anyway - if you're reading this and you want to come along on Monday night, then please do. The next meeting will be organised in better time, I promise.
