I hope so and I'm happy to help out any way I can.

It looks like Maidstone will be monthly?

I'm quite happy too, assuming an appropriate topic can be found!

Again - happy to help if this is possible, especially if it could help us to get a venue near Maidstone.


As for finding somewhere with good public transport - this is being made especially difficult by the latest trains from many stations being quite early. Eg: On Friday the latest train out of Maidstone (to Tonbridge) was 9.30. The last train from Canterbury up to north Kent & London is 9.15. This is a good argument for having smaller, more localised meetings, but of course it fractures KLUG.
