Martin,
I've been running a user group in Boston for several years and am involved
with the NAAUG MM SIG
>> 1. What activities <<
Meeting are usually broken into social time, group business (very short<g>),
demos by members or vendors of work in progress, Plug-ins, related software,
basic features of 3DS, etc. We usually end with open discussions.
We've had sporadic newsletters. We have some dealers who offer discounts to
group members.
>> 2. How much?<<
$30/year $20(I think) for students. No volume discounts because nobody has
volume members<g>
>>3. any sponsers?<<
No, we want to stay indepentent from commercial concerns as much as possible.
Wentworth Institute does provide us with a room, equipment, and refreshments
with no strings attached.
>>4. search for new members?<<
Mostly, word of mouth, but we are listed in 3D Artist magazine and with
Autodesk. Both groups are very helpful in refering inquiries to us.
Good luck, it's very rewarding!
