    Big problem there is the scope (pardon the pun) of members from all over the Country, if they had a meet in say, London, you'd have people from up North complaining about Southern bias.

    Or perhaps meets via regions to be more specific.

    Hi @csno01! We don't host in-person meetups as far as I know, but I can double check this next week for you.

    @janer1967 if it was a fancy dress Ball I'd be up for it, other than that it'd be too formal, plus I suck at Ballroom dancing lol.

    Hi all! I spoke with the team about this, and there aren't currently any plans for us to organise any meetups. That being said, this is something we've discussed in the past as a possibility, so it could be something that happens in some form in the future :)

    No problem @csno01, and thanks for letting us know @woodbine. It's good to know that it's worked for other forums!

    Once everyone's had the Corona jab, maybe we could all meet up somewhere central, not too far South for us Northern folk, and not too far North for those from down South.

    Just local group meets for people using a forums, we all used to chat a lot with each other and wanted to meet up socially and if anyone outside of our 'clique' wanted to come they were welcome too.
    Luckily someone on the forums worked in a pub so offered that venue as a place for us to meet (made sure a section of the pub was reserved for us all, no charge). All i had to do was create a topic with the date and time of when we would be meeting and people could leave their name in that to say if they were interested then the day before i'd message them all with the venue. We keep the venue secret as the forums was public and we didn't want just anyone turning up. But yeah they went ok, i had to give it up when my mobility was affected unfortunately.
