uk.org.ukuug. These were broken down as follows

There were 15 articles in Jul
A Google search for the period 1st August 2002 to 31st July 2003
shows 20 posts in the period of which 2 might be on topic.
I posted a note in the group on 5th August 2003 asking if the group
was being used and asking if anyone had a contact for the
organisation. I have received no response. I have not contacted the
organisation as I can't find them. A Google search found
http://www.awc-hq.org/ but they appear to be US based. If someone
manages to identify a contact then I will follow that through before
taking the RFD any further.

I take it from the lack of discussion that noone has any objections to
this happening. If that continues and I get a few "me too"s I'll apply
for a fast track later in the week.

A group that I RFD'd the removal for. I used that RFD as a template for
this one and obviously missed a change. I had changed the figures and
the timing however.
