History

The first HUMBUG meeting was held on Friday the 8th of September, 1995. This was the first and only meeting held on a Friday night. Popular demand at this meeting decided that all future meetings would start at 3pm on Saturdays. We also had meetings monthly at first. We started having fortnightly meetings with the 5th meeting which was held on Saturday, 27th of January, 1996.
