an example of such a group was 'computertown north east' (newcastle-upon-tyne & gateshead) which met in the tyne & wear science museum cafe (and thus could claim to be the first ever cyber-cafe on tyneside). they also held "awareness days" in the newcastle central public library, and in many other local branch libraries on tyneside, and in gateshead, south shields and sunderland between 1981 and 1990.
