As a long time participater in "meetups" from other communities I
participate in, I know that *everyone* wants to have one near where they
live, oblivious to the needs of any one who needs to catch an expensive
flight to get there.

The first thing you need to do (if you're *serious* about having a meetup)
is to poll prospective attendees for possible locations, the have a vote
on which location the most people would attend.

Only *then* do you decide on a place. Otherwise you're not having an
"official" AWW meetup. You're just meeting with some friends you know
from online.

Let's do this the easy way.

We can argue about where till the cows come home but the fact is, however
unfair, that the British transport network was built such that the only
places that most people can get to easily are London, Birmingham, Crewe
and Doncaster. So it's a London meet.

Now we need to choose when and that means a Saturday afternoon at least a
month away. I suggest either June 11th or 18th since they are either side
of my birthday.

Finally we need to choose a venue. That means a place that's fairly easy
to find and which serves beer. We've sort of done The Angel, St Giles,
though that's generally a good bet. The pub over the top of Leicester
Squre station isn't all that bad as a meet pub. I've also used the Mansion
House opposite Kennington station for a meet for another group, and that
kind of worked too.

So we have two things to vote on or add further suggestions to. The date
and the pub.

Simple.

I'm on one newsgroup that generally has a meet somewhere in the world
pretty much every weekend, and another that tends to call meets with less
than 24 hours notice.
