I am debating whether to start one or not as I don't know  if people would be interested.
Would be based in the south east of England and monthly and free.
Doing things like the following:
discussions, eating out, day trips

    @woodbine
    Unfortunately I can't cater for everyone so if you don't live in the south east then you can't attend

    That sounds like a good idea @RacheleLeahSilvera :) Would you consider doing virtual ones for now? Such as holding video calls or doing other online activities together?

    I think that'd be a good approach as it'd allow you to start something before we're all allowed to socialise more in-person again, and would also make it more accessible in general, especially for those not based in the South East @RacheleLeahSilvera. Have you had any ideas on possible activities?

    It sure would and the activities will be a mixture of different things from discussions,days out and other stuff but specific things would depend on the number of people interested and would of course consider people's limitations

    Just because something may already exists,it doesn't mean that there cannot be others.
