Right, I've found another local who's up for this and I think I might know another.
In the tradition of these things, I suggest meeting on the first Tuesday of each month. As for venue let's try www.thehalfwayhousebox.co.uk on Minchinhampton Common.
The format is simply sup a beer and a round robin where we detail who we are, what we're up to and what challenges we're facing in business (or starting a business). Once we've got to know each other and what's going on, it all starts to flow more easily and go off on interesting tangents. Or we just talk about cars
If you want to attend the first one (and can make it on a regular basis), please sign up below.

ETA: First of month typically busy for me as month end procedures being run but I don't want to miss the first of what may prove a most interesting forum.
