That describes exact the way I thought of it. I would start
this way, but I'm just not in the UK ...and thats what the
thing was about - I already had some talks to Wirtschaften
(some Pubs) over here about this, and a meeting somewhere in
spring might be reasonable. But it would be a Bavarian (German)
mini VCF, and beside the travel distance for our UK list fellows,
the Meeting language will be German, at least for most people,
since the goal will still be to attract more visitors. Of course
everybody is free to use what ever language is possible to talk,
but if there is a programm of speaches to be made there will be
problems. On the other side, we might attract new followers for
the list.

So, when only looking at the list I belive a UK (informal)
meeting might have more members visiting than one in Bavaria.
But feel free to prove me wrong. If there is a response,
I will voluntere to organize it.

Gruss
Hans
