Just to keep an eye - I rarely get to London or the venues of most of your
events etc. but like to know roughly whats going on, and be able to chase up
something particular if needed.

Sorry I havent become that involved that I can suggest things. (Except as
far as the mailing list goes, which I like.) It looks useful if you are in
its target group. I am slightly external to it, being, for practical
purposes, "abroad". I am also extremely busy which means I rarely 'browse'
websites..
