Hi Mistress Diva, hi everyone else.
I would be up for a meeting, but speaking as someone who has regularly organised social events in another context, it often depends on the date (i.e. considering how we all seem to be shiftworkers these days, it is very hard to find a day/time that works for everyone).
Regarding the subject of UK gatherings in general, I have watched from afar Big Jims valiant but doomed attempts to make things happen. Personally I think part of the problem is the unrealistic expections of what such a gathering could involve. Personally I believe the only way to get it to work is to build up a regular small social event (say fortnightly coffee and cake at Starbucks in London, maybe followed by a movie). Then as the numbers began to build over a period of weeks/months, play parties/nests could be organised through the social events. The problem with this of course is one of time/patience; namely everyone wants to get straight to the Tickling, despite how unrealistic this is and the potential for danger that that involves (let alone no one turning up). Also the problem is that regular small social gatherings in one location may not seem so attractive if you live at the other end of the country.
Anyway I think it is fantastic that Mistress Diva is prepared to make the effort here. Also seeing that she is someone outside of the UK, who also has a very strong reputation, it would give such a gathering real legitimacy, the rest of us the opportunity to touch base with each other, and maybe start to build a UK community.
Incidentally Mistress Diva, I have a note in my diary to email you in the next couple of days so I would be grateful if you look out for that.
