I had a thought...

yes, another one.... ho-hum.

I noticed that there are lots of comments about the feeling of lack of community in Uk for anyone who has moved here from philippines....

Well, my brain got ticking as it sometimes does and I wondered if it would be a good idea for a large ''get-together'' was organized, say once a year, for everyone who is a member of this forum... which can obvioulsy include single people too... they might strike lucky.

that way, everyone gets to meet and properly get to know each other, share stories and present situations...Bingo, instant community...

I know you've got it here in this forum, but it's good to talk.

All we have to do s work out a good central venue for the event, say for example, Coventry, then find costs and such, and propose the idea to the forum, those who wish to go can cough up the estimated dough and we all have a big meet.

Any remaining funds from such an event can go towards other worthwhile projects to expand the forum and/or make the community bigger and stronger.

Maybe you could even organise a group holiday... somewhere where no-ones been or let people give suggestions...

A week or two in the sun each year... The only thing that worries me is would us blokes get a word in edgeways???

keep smiling all
