Biggest problem is venue. so unless you have the facilities where you
live and are happy to have people there (and do not mind the security
risk), then I would go whereever you can get free venue. Anything to
start and you can always change later.
Publicity; most local newspapers seem to have diary pages, etc for local
clubs. Notices around the shopping centres (special notice boards),
schools?, places of work (staff/social club board), etc. Later on you
can do the occassional news article for the newspapers, etc
Provide a cuppa - people want somewhere/places/atmosphere where they
feel happy chatting and most do not like asking questions in meetings,
etc.
Just set a date and venue and go for it.
