# Security on the QL

It is 3.30pm on a blazing hot day in early May and I am driving along the Sussex coastline to interview John Wakefield of Wakefield Security Systems Limited. I came in contact with John through a letter I had published in the February ’95 Quanta magazine. I had just moved from Hamburg, in Germany, to Portslade, in Sussex, England, and I wanted to know if there were any local QL enthusiasts or a users group in the area. John was one of the people who contacted me and I went down to visit him in his office.
