Asides from haveing an informal lunch, has there ever been an organised meet outside of the forum?
I'm not sugesting a **** up but some on this forum might be a little nervous about meeting face too face so perhaps a pub may be a good place. It'll also be beneficial because if some are or become uncomfortable with the situation/atmosphere it will allow them to leave quietly without any awkward questions such as 'why did so and so leave so early' on the forum. Just an idea.
