I agree here that people should follow my idea, find a venue, decide on
a time / date and just stick with it, that way those that can make it
will. Times can be adjusted later. Are there are cafe's down your neck
of the woods, ?
Just a case of going in and asking, then announce on the list, if the
first meet goes ok, you can ask the owner if its ok to meet at the same
time each month, ok this can be changed if needed say something going
on, but i think for the most part you can meet on the same day / time
each month all year.
good luck
Paul
