[Leica] LUG Yearbook future volunteers

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

I only just had a conversation on this with Brian this hour in fact.
With Brian's agreement now, I am going to facilitate the 2014 edition.

Everyone rest assured that it should be a whole lot like Jim's productions.
His format and approach was very well accepted, I think. You'll all be on
Southern Hemisphere timings though;-)

I will make a more detailed first announcement soon.


Cheers
Geoff
