What is it ?

EdLUG(Outreach) is a small subgroup of EdLUG that communicates with the outside world.

Why is it needed ?

EdLUG has no constitution and it is important that it stays that way; it accurately describes the diverse, volunteer nature of the group - reflecting the real world. To interact with other organisations, it is necessary to have decision making procedures, structure and contact points. A  subgroup of EdLUG that has a constitution will supply this and give EdLUG a voice.

Why do we need a Constitution ?

We need a Constitution so that we can be officially recognised as a group and have a single point of contact. This will allow EdLUG(Outreach) to:

• Apply for a Bank Account
• Apply for grants
• Hire or use Lecture Theatres
• Write Letters from EdLUG(Outreach) to government bodies like Edinburgh Council
• Get liability insurance if needed for Install days or other projects
• Allow EdLUG to endorse companies

Why do we need a bank account ?

EdLUG needs a place to:

• Hold money that is raised throughout the year from Auctions, Barbecues, T-Shirt sales and Donations.
• To hold money for a new EdLUG Web and Mail Server
• To hold sponsorship funds
