Good idea, Nonnie, though I think that would require someone prepared to act as a West Mids co-ordinator. So far, it has been more of an ad hoc arrangement for anyone who's interested to come along. We do usually meet at a more central location (Birmingham, for instance) but as it seemed to be just the two of us this time and we're both west of Birmingham, we chose to meet nearer home.
Don't suppose you could make it to Merry Hill on Tuesday, by any chance? You would be most welcome.
