Real Life Meetings
Does the current difficulty make anyone else think that it's a bad thing to be so reliant on the internet?
Would it be possible to go back to meeting face to face occasionally, at least for those of us who are London based?
Many years ago I heard Beryl Burton speak at a club dinner - her message was (and she was passionate about it): 'Whatever you do, keep your clubroom going'. Sadly very few have managed to follow her advice, but I still think she was right.
It so happens that I may be able to offer a good base for a forum clubroom - It's near Staines, so a long way out, but there's a good rail line from Waterloo, and the premises do have a bar. Perhaps a monthly meeting would be possible.
I won't be surprised if this suggestion is thought to be absurdly olden days, but if a few people are interested I will pursue it.
Let me know.
