these were the two in UK:

The other event pages are obviously not in English. This is ours at BeLUG

http://www.belug.de/lpd.html

These are the not yet translated considerations on thre national German web 
site:

The LPD events are quite different, depending on the capabilities, resources 
and interests of the respective hostinmg organisation. The LPD is not a kind 
of brand in the sense that you can expect a certain kind of event and we try 
to spread this kind of event.

The LPD brand is used for on the one hand getting more attantion and on the 
other hand as a fingerpost. We are telling the public where there are some nice 
people who show them someting about Linux and answer their questions.

So you just think about what you can and would likt to do. In the easiest case 
you just put three PCs with different desktop environments somewhere and one 
contact person beside each. If you want to invest more effort then you can 
present certain topics of relevance for the target audience or even some 
talks. But I would suggest to start with little effort (so that noone is 
discouraged from the next event) and get some experience with the visitors. 
It's annoying to invest much effort and having to realize that the visitors 
are not really interested in that.

Unfortunately we forgot to shoot a video at the BeLUG events. There is only 
one I am aware of from another (German) location:
