Yes, physical meetings provide benefits not available to us via the net,
atm.

I would have been part of the numbers if I wasn't tied up at the time.

I am now living in Crawley (just south of gatwick). I have several
projects on the go that keep me from maintaining my email like I used
too but I still keep an eye out for meetings so I can try to arrange to
go to them. 

A calendar would be great and would increase the ability for me to
attend as I could book it ahead of time. A couple of weeks is just not
as long as it used to be.
