The first ALUG meeting was held in May 1999 at Woodbridge, near Ipswich.

Norwich

There is a regular social meeting in Norwich every second Thursday of the month from 8pm. We meet at the Reindeer pub on Dereham Road, near the junction with the inner ring road (Grapes Hill). As well as serving a good selection of beers, the pub has parking spaces available and is within walking distance of Norwich city centre.

UEA also hosts the occasional kit meet, usually on a Sunday, when someone can be convinced to organise a room.

The next social meeting will be 20:00 Thursday 09 July 2009.
