Berks Amiga Users Group
RD#2, Box 297
Boyertown, PA 19512
President: Roger Malinowski
Treasurer: Mike Koch
BAUG has been in operation for almost a year and a half, and supports users of all Amiga models. The membership is primarily interested in video, graphics, 3-D modeling, animation, telecommunications, and games.
Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, in the Schuylkill Room of the Reading Area Community College (RACC). Meetings begin at 7:00 PM and typically last around 2 hours. The typical meeting begins with announcements and news, followed by a game demo, followed by the demo/discussion of the month.
A yearly membership fee of $15 is collected from each member when they join, then each January thereafter. The membership fees are solely to offset the costs of producing the group's monthly newsletter, "Interface", which is mailed to each member. Subscriptions to the newsletter are available for the same $15 fee, although free copies of the newsletter are provided to any/all other Amiga user groups. Send us a copy of yours and we'll send you one of ours. ;-)
