Our next meeting will take place shortly and the "official"
announcement is attached below. If you would like more information about
our group then don't hesitate to drop me a line on te*****@scotdb. com.
We have tried to put together an interesting agenda which will give a
useful day to both LUW and z/OS users.
While traditionally our group has been "mainframe oriented", over the last
year or so we have managed to build up a good LUW contingent. My role is
specifically to organize and deliver the DB2 for LUW thread. With this in
mind, I'd be interested in hearing from as many DB2 for LUW users as
possible in our "catchment area" (UK and Ireland mainly, but we welcome
visitors from elsewhere too if you are able to join us).

===== START OF OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT =====
Dear Fellow DB2ers,
Our next meeting will be held at IBM Southbank in London on Thursday
December 4th 2003. We are back to our usual format of two parallel
threads, one concentrating on DB2 for OS/390 and z/OS and the other on DB2
for LUW platforms. The price for attendance at the day's events is £40
(waived if you are a speaker) which includes Lunch. We hope you agree that
this represents very good value for the education and experience that you
can gain.
To register for the meeting please contact Richard Strong (0161 499 6835).
