East Midlands local group?

Postby daarklight » Sat 27 Aug 2011 4:26 pm

Could anyone tell me if the East Midlands local group is active? The sub-forum dedicated to it has no posts and no way of posting to it. The others (Manchester, West Midlands etc.) seem very active.

Many thanks.

Mike

The East Mids group is still active, though it's a while since the last meeting. I know Patricia, the organiser, was having trouble getting a suitable date for a speaker. But we'll put up details of the next meeting just as soon as it's organised. And I'll contact the webmaster again about the East Mids forum - not sure why no-one can post to it!
So watch this space.

Hi Nick,
I've e-mailed you about this. We were trying to fix a date with you earlier this year, so I hope we'll see you in Leicester soon!
Many thanks
