After some discussions I think it may be more sensible to have a meeting day and time, say once a week.
What do people here think?
We have about 25 people in the telegram group, which may indicate some level of interest, but obviously most are busy most of the time.
once a week makes perfect sense.
I posted this in the telegram group but not everyone is in there.
Can I do a poll:
1) who is interested in doing any video meetups?
2) of those above, which days and times would be suitable?
3) would some of you do them only if a specific video platform was used?
4) if absolutely not interested, why not?
Following a great one by Patrick yesterday we will no doubt have others.
Any ideas, please post them here

Without wanting topics that (selfishly) I would like, may I suggest the following as areas that might interest others as well, especially if my suggestion is treated as a ‘lead in’ to associated ideas.
Like the very successful Zoom last night, we need some who can talk, and demonstrate, with enthusiasm.
Hope these comments might help.
As a possibility at the other end of the GA scale … in 2012 I did a “VFR in Europe” presentation at Shoreham. It was very well received, but ran over 2hrs. Some people wanted me to do it at some other GA watering holes e.g. Blackbushe but no way was I going to be driving around and doing that for free And none of the schools would promote an event like that (I am not an instructor, etc). Video is ideal for this sort of thing.
The PPT is here under Articles. So the material is all ready and I just need to run Zoom on a second device concurrently whose screen can be shared. Not a lot has changed for VFR flying in 8 years I am sure…
In the spirit of “go VFR” how about a session where someone with the right skills would run a mock prep session for a VFR flight from ZZZZ to, of course, Annecy LFLP? ZZZZ doesn’t have to be in the UK, so there is no fear of an inadvertent CAS bust ;) And yes, let’s assume intra-Schengen and intra-EU, so no need to discuss customs and immigration.

I’d be really interested in a personal owner pilot story.
Basically anything about buying and flying your plane.
Why did you buy the plane…how did it go so far?
Okay, I could do this. I think it will be fun to talk about, because I did it 3 times and everytime when I bought a share of a plane or the plane itself as single owner, it was against all rules. So the story won‘t be too long, but might be a real contrast to maybe @Emir‘s.
That would be a very interesting topic eddPeter.
