I love this forum because SD set it up following a very similar vision on how the guys n gals of UKSG and Wydening Gyre envisaged those pioneering forums were run, OPEN, almost no moderation, total equality for newby or oldy alike, no elitism, debate was encouraged and contentious issues welcomed for debate. SD's vision for a forum so exceeded my own expectations I was happy to not bother setting up any more forums because his efforts were vastly superior to my own. And his hands off small government approach ensures vibrant debate thrives on here.

I would just like to meet up with other members in my area for support, mutual support and companionship. I don't do cliques or brown nosing, I'm very much a 'Lone Wolf'.

I would prefer also to meet local SUK members because I can't afford to travel to many of the larger events mentioned on this forum.

SD mon ami your thread and subject is absolutely fine, its absolutely great to encourage localised groups of preppers to get together and meet up, your concept is sound and valid, Mini RVs are fabulous back up comms systems as everyone in any given area will know where and when they can contact fellow preppers on a semi regular basis.

I think BP and I are just a tad war weary when it comes to seeing forums get set up with good intentions only for them to be taken over by control freaks and elitists.

The best thing I can suggest for the curious is to go and join the other forums and see what they like / dislike for themselves.

BUT getting back to local group gatherings GO FOR IT, but pretty please keep it informal, and I ask VERY humbly for organisers to do just ONE thing for me " If you have RVs and there are new members there make a solid, hard, concious effort to bring them in and involve them from the start" IE treat new members the way you would like to be treated yourself.
