Hi, welcome to the forum, glad to see with have some one else thats joining the ranks. You will want to meet other people because its a lot more fun, you can show each other some skills and you dont get bored in under an hour, like you would do if your on your own.
There arnt many meets going on at the minute, its much more of a spur of the moment thing where i meet up with somebody or someone contacts me etc. hopefully we can get enough people and start making it much more regular.
