Er, just like that - think about it, get a few peeps interested and go from there.

If I remember correctly, when Nath started the berks meet, there were only two to three people at the first few meets (could have been something to do with the snow mind).

As said above, this is not a club, so there are no rules as such.

Make sure you get somewhere with a big car park think we might need a new venue soon with more space

Ask permission from the venue too I asked at one place for a surrye meet and they basically told me to fook off rugby clubs seem to be a favourite cos the bars are normally cheap

Yep loads of snow for the first couple but there was way more than 2/3 people I've been doing them in Berks for almost 5 years now so if need any pointers then drop me a PM

Oh and good luck
