===Typical activities===

LUGs typically meet once per month, in facilities freely provided by universities, colleges, community centers, private corporations, or banquet rooms in restaurants. For example, Silicon Valley's SVLUG<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://www.svlug.org/ |title=svlug.org] |access-date=2004-03-06 |archive-date=2017-10-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014040844/http://www.svlug.org/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> met for about 10 years in the back of a Carl's Jr. restaurant, and has met for the last several years in meeting rooms at [[Cisco Systems]] and, more recently, [[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]]. Similarly, BALUG<ref>[http://www.balug.org/ balug.org]</ref> (a San Francisco LUG) met for many years in the banquet room above the Four Seas Restaurant in [[San Francisco]]'s [[Chinatown, San Francisco|Chinatown]].

Most LUGs are free, requiring no monthly or annual dues. In many cases, the participants are encouraged to patronize the host venues (esp. in restaurant meetings, by buying dinner).
