I am in favour of annual meetings up. Even with a formative character in a style of conferences. In Natural Park places such as Grazalema. I could find good and cheap speakers and good and cheap places to stay.
It would be fun to have lectures on a wide variety of topics ( legal, cultural, social, food, kids.... ) as it happens ro be interesting for you from the forums. ALso with good fun dinners and fun time of course!!
I am sure we could have Institutional ( Government) support.
What do you think?
