May be BP got off on the wrong foot using the word 'group'. Where what he really meant was a social meet, may be a pub or part of the pub, similar to what SD has done. Also may be if the do grub would help. And yes make it invitation only and you end up having people harboring resentment. Just pick a day, say a month or two down the line so people have time to organize, choose a fairly central venue so probable people coming have about same travelling distance, and a time. See how many respond to open invite. Then wait and see. All you can do. Not a group, just a general meeting to meet others of like mind socially. If any body wants to know who or what you are your just a gathering of outdoor/camping people meeting for a pie and pint and chin wag. My two penny worth.

RE: Devon & Cornwall SUK group. - NorthernRaider - 17 May 2013 BP the best and probably only succesful way of develoing local groups of like minded folks is via the PM system, posting a good concept on a main forum will always attract the spoilers.

RE: Devon & Cornwall SUK group. - Metroyeti - 17 May 2013 Dont give up hope on your rvs RE: Devon & Cornwall SUK group. - Scythe13 - 17 May 2013 That's a real downer there BP. Not the greatest way to show comitment to a cause. It's not finished with at all. The concept is awesome and I, for one, am very interested in persuing the concept and exploring it further. If you (you being anyone on the forum) are still interested in a Devon and Cornwall meet, with the intention towards a group dynamic, drop either myself or BP a message, and feel free to post your interest on this thread....if you dare [insert scarey pirate theme tune, probably Pirates of the Carribean stylee]. RE: Devon & Cornwall SUK group. - bigpaul - 18 May 2013 this is now on the back burner, its a non starter UNTIL we get more members in this area.

The thing is BP, there might well be many more preppers in your area, just waiting for something like this,..any forum has a very small number of people that do the posting, but often hundreds more who are just reading,... many of those might well be interested in joining such a group I would personally set it up on a PM basis [ provisionally ] and see what numbers you get, ,.. and make a judgment on that,.. the biggest problem would be keeping it in the limelight, so that not only do people see it now,... but people can also see it in two weeks, or a month from now There is also many good reasons for keeping the numbers small anyway |
