 ==== Meetings ====
+<WRAP info around>
 We see ourselves as a mutual-assistance group, where members look to each other for advice, help and support.
 Our members range from having little electronic knowledge to being fairly advanced.
@@ Line 27: / Line 41: @@
 Members can put in and take out as much as they wish. None of us know everything and we can all learn from each other in a more informal manner than through the MERG forums and email groups.
 Of course, you don't have to participate in the Area Group, but you might find that we have a lot to offer - and learn - from each other.
