I'll start the ball rolling, I'd add the meeting minutes so that people know that we're active,
also if you added a few of us as authors we could have some real community spirit on there.

I agree with Andy on this, and on reflection also don't think we ought to

If they don't have wireless I have an iPhone that we can get something off, it'll be slow though.
Where is the moorlands hotel?
