Our meetings regularly include guest speakers from diverse sections of government and industry and are always well attended with in excess of 100 attendees common. </p> <h2>Objectives</h2> <p>The Queensland Ingres User Group is an incorporated association which is governed by a <a href="constitn.html"><b>constitution</b></a>.
