As has been pointed out by several members before, these meet-up societies tend to attract people with a different slant to their interests to those already here, which is why so few members have followed your previous invitations. If this society already has a website, but doesn't yet have a board, then why don't they start one as part of their existing set-up?

I can't really understand why you feel that we need a vast influx of new members, anyhow: boards like this grow organically through the arrival of those who feel that they share common interests and outlooks with the majority of those already here; surely simply grafting on another community with a different constituency is unlikely to benefit either party?

Agreed Ron, this forum is just about small enough that I can keep up with most of what's going on, though I don't have time to read everything. A lot bigger and I'd lose track. It's simple to set up a new forum so the society which LB mentioned but which he's now removed could easily create their own.

sorry for saying anything
