I'm with Tom -- this group is *fun* and casual, and I, for one, would like
to keep it that way. To be (perhaps) way too blunt: Anything smelling of
"mission statements" or "process alignment" makes me twitch (and not in a
good way!) ... I've got quite enough of that at work! (Other words to
avoid: Win-Win, Knowledge Management, Proactive, Leverage, Value-addded
and Best Practices.)

I think our website should focus on which beers/ciders we've enjoyed most
at our meetings, leaving room, of course, for all-important discussions
like whether the behaviour of lava lamps can be predicted or whether it
truly does approximate random motion. Directions to meetings, times and
dates would also be OK, I suppose. ; )
