The meetings I set up are mostly 'just' 'ordinary' fans mixing with a few people who have some stories to tell. So please don't think you're not welcome just because you're an 'ordinary' fan. Everyone is welcome.
It's worked great so far. I try and get everybody speaking if I can, but some people do just want to listen.
Anyway, I appreciate all the comments guys, but let's keep this simple.
I started my meetings a few weeks ago simply to be a social meet-up between fans during this time of lockdown, and you're welcome to join in.
Having a topic du jour to start the conversation isn't a bad idea.
So far, we've had great conversations created by simply going with whatever shows up in the room.
I am prepared to moderate more or less according to the needs of the day. We can feel for that as we go. I know how to do that if I need to.
If it turns out that we start getting a lot of people coming, we will probably have to do one of two things:
One is to formalise them, turn them more into conferences than social meet-ups. If we get to that point, someone else can run them, asI have no desire to become an events organizer trying to please lots of people and dealing with complaints.
Option two is to get more people hosting meetings and spread it out a bit.
Right now, we're not needing to do any of that, but I recognise we might if they get much bigger.
Anyway, my weekly meet-up will continue as is and we can roll with how it evolves.
Cheers
Sounds good to me Stephen. Look forward to join this time for sure.

Yeah, thanks everyone for coming. It was another warm and interesting conversation.
Lovely to have Chris Malone on telling us about some of his mastering advertures, and great conversation about our love for the tactile experience of physical media, sonic limitations of older recordings, albums that played great before expansion, etc.
