thank you Paul for taking the time to write such a considered and respectful response – The forums have indeed been very positive – and therefore extremely helpful.
I guess we are all feeling frustrated about the groups as sometimes it’s nice to connect in real time and with groups often being so limited it means either taking time out from what we should be doing (which is something we are trying very hard to change ) or staying up too late .
I look forward to when groups are on full-time and members can have some element of control over when they meet. I also echo Laura’s point that it does currently feel a little like we are being treated like small kids incapable of making such a decision .
It seems silly having a meeting place when there is no opportunity to meet !
Looking forward to the change and many of us have already (last year ) submitted the feedback form on this topic .
Thank you again .
