Hi Alexander, OK. once I know how to add that to the wiki page I will. Any suggestions would be useful! Hopefully the ics will be attached. Sadly the forum does not accept ics files so I renamed it to a txt file. simply change the extension.

Creating this is the first step, don't be put off however if the first few events are a little quiet. Consistency of schedule (once a month for instance) is the secret to getting people involved. I went to a local one just last night (Melbourne, Australia), it has been running for 3 years
