Thanks for all the replies - there does seem to be some interest :)

It seems that trying out a meeting on a weekend day would be a good start - and
having it in a dedicated room somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas about where
to go, or is prepared to do some legwork to find a venue?

How about aiming for the July meetup to be a weekend one?

Also, having a meeting in Abergavenny was a bit unexpected - let us know if
one is happening on the mailing list / G+ !

The LBW (http://lbw2014.þþ.be/) would be a great event to do something at. I'm
aiming to go (at least for a weekend day), and would be happy to do something -
even if it's just a repeat of my recent talk - although I'm sure someone has a
better suggestion.

Cheers,

Mark
