Actually I just had a thought about the networking - as it seems that trying to set this up via a forum is a bit tricky.
I have just joined a site called 'sprouter.com' which is like a twitter for entrepreneurs and business people. At the moment I am the only SA person on there from what I can tell. I mention this because it says it has a very good Events function. I'd love to try it out - and it would be great to have a SA presence on there. It appears to be a lot more business focussed than Twitter which is why I thought I'd give it a go.
Let me know if you are interested in joining it and a date/location for the networking and I will set the event up in there.
It would be good if the even could be towards the end of November - to give people a chance to see the event, but not too close to Christmas.
Ideas about structure of the event would be good also.
