That would make an interesting project, Tom. I don't know how big the UK community is (or how we'd define it), but I do try to encourage meetups around the country as much as I can.

We ought to have a recruitment drive to convert interested editors into members and try to engage them in a broader range of activities. Ideas for action and volunteers to help are always appreciated.
