I don't have a copy of Gaim handy, but I'll do what I can to remember:

Create a new account (Accounts menu option, new)
Select "IRC" as protocol
Server name is irc.freenode.net
Select a nick (Most people use some variation on their name)
If it asks for a port, use 6667

Once you've set up the account, click the "Login" checkbox (I think) and 
then look for a "join Chatroom" option, join #gnhlug.

Like I said, no copy of Gaim handy - I use Pork for AIM and irssi for 
IRC, so I might have missed something.
