This is probably one of the main problems up until now its been 
nice but all we are doing is socializing, we need to have the 
meetings as more of a learning experience to some. And we need to 
supply that as a service to you all.

I do think we need to keep the social bit but we need it separate 
so some people can go early and some can stay but we need at least 
2 hours put aside for presentations/help evenings/ Q&A etc. In fact 
I think it should be a bit more formal in some sense.
