Does Google offer the group data in any form?

Drew.

As far as I know there is no way to export group data?

Yes there is a tool

https://www.google.com/settings/takeout

Just unsure if there are any Tools to make use of it

If you do an export and share with us the exported data, I don't see why somebody can't make an importer.

Actually I must of been seeing things, the tool google provide does not allow the export of google groups, just other google apps.

I did however find this, but as a crap coder this may take me some time to get my head around !

You'll need to pay somebody to write an importer for you then.

Yep I get that now, and infact means this thread is of no interest to anyone LOL.
Unless they are any coders lurking around who fancy a stab at it :/

Thanks for the replies.
