Its not as hard as you might think, and you dont have to be amongst the intellectually elite to get one off the ground.

All thats needed is a little time and lots of enthusiasm.

If you start a user group before November 2007, you may be eligible to enter the Community Leader of the Year award!

Here are some of the things you'll want to think about when considering starting a user group:

• Is there enough to cover to keep us busy?
• Where will I hold it?
• Who would be interested in coming along?
• How will you get the word out?
• How regularly will you have a meeting?
• What format will the meeting be?
• Who can I sponge off?

That may seem like a lot, but help is available. If you want to start a user group, please make contact and we'll point you in the right direction.
