OK, it seems we have a fair bit of interest. I agree that by some sort of region might be helpful but we shouldn't have too many which will just make it messy. I'm of the opinion that people should ask to be included on the list and which areas to ensure we get specifically people that have visited this area of the forum and are genuinely interested in the meets. I think sending PM's to people who aren't interested just clogs up the PM space and I sure would just annoy them.
So to move it along I therefore propose we have four lists, Western Vic, Eastern Vic, Northern Vic and Melbourne. That should give enough coverage for the east and west, the border regions and the city but not be too confusing and people can be on whichever lists they like. The purpose isn't to make boundries as such, just to give some rationalisation. For example if there is a meet say at Bendigo, then the organisers should probably PM the Northern and Western and maybe Melbourne lists.
The list will be displayed here so anyone organising a meet can simply copy and paste the list into a PM inviting people to attend. Don't let it get out of control though, a single PM advising of a meet and directing to the meet thread will be sufficient, we don't want dozens of PM's clogging up people's inboxs and want to keep the organisation in a public thread.
I hope this isn't too forward and asking too much but...I wonder if Arthur, Andrew, Harves or Kym even might be able to put a post (or this post) at the top or this thread with these basic regions and names in it and as we get people asking to be added we can add them? If not or if you prefer to just keep rolling with this thread for now, I can just run with this in the thread and keep updating it as we go.
So I have made the best guesses as to the people that have put their hands up so far. Feel free to post to clarify your selection or even PM me, I don't mind
and I can keep this list up to date.
