One of the ideas I've been toying with is local pubmeets for the Collective.

I know there are clusters of folk (the Midlands, the Southeast), who are not quite close enough for a regular weekly game, but can get together for a not-quite-con. An opportunity for people with similar gaming interests to get together, play new games and playtest what folks are working on. Probably for half a day or so.

Thats's the concept anyway.

To avoid being a polling thread, where we all talk about stuff but reach no decisions, the question is not "isn't this a good idea?", but "Who in the Midlands is interested?"
