People should meet up as much as possible but trying to push a nature 
towards assimilation will end in failure primarily because of the size 
of kent.

Maidstone is good as it is virtually in the middle. Folkstone is good 
for those in the south, Medway is good for those in the north

At the ens of the day we are still missing the point of "if we have a 
*big* meeting "$foo" is the best place.... (Although it seems like 
everyone knows someone at Maplestone Noakes)
