[Vanhackspace] September 30th Meeting Tonight and an appeal for more members

[Graham Mitchell]

I'm personally still watching the list and still interested in VHS, 
though I still don't really feel that I can commit $50 a month to it 
with my other bills and my likely time to participate in mind. I'll do 
my best to drop in on any upcoming public events, though.
