Meetup organizes local gatherings of people just like us at local coffee shops, bars, bookstores, and other places in cities all around the world. Our community has been invited by Meetup to join one of their topics so members have easy access to local groups with a common interest. I've selected Doctor Who as the Meetup topic that best fits our community. By clicking on the "Meetup With Friends" link next to "Invite Friends" you'll be taken to our Meetup topic where you can sign up and choose where the next Meetup should be in your area. Meetups happen in over 500 cities so there's a good chance you'll be able to other people interested in Doctor Who in your area. Meetup also places a link to our community in their "Related Links" section. This means people interested in Doctor Who will be able to find and participate in our community easily. I encourage you to check out our Meetup topic and sign up - you never know whom you might run into.

I know I'm not the organiser of this venture, but I did put myself up as one of the "Hosts" - so maybe when the November one comes around, and I suddenly have some spare time, I might take the next step and suggest a venue to use.

True - but the BTR recording sessions have certainly been thick and fast in recent months, but that's mostly because we have been so behind on material. I can see things slowing down quite a bit next year - unless you and Darran suddenly come up with more series ideas!
