Who wants a Peterborough & Fens Group?

Who wants a Peterborough & Fens Group?

I do! Otherwise I would not make a post about it. For sometime now I have wandered why there are not any really active General Groups covering the Peterborough area including the Fens. This is a large area and encompasses most of the County of Cambridgeshire, a huge chunk of Lincolnshire and parts of Norfolk. Yet there is no successful general group covering this area.

I am very envious of those successful groups that exist in neighbouring Counties and feel that there must be enough creative folk who can help in making a group covering the area I have roughly set out. We could make Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire honorary Fenland counties to include those who live on the fringes of the area.

I have therefore made a few posts on a virtually dormant group Peterborough Exchange, setting out the sort of thing it would be nice to see in the area and dependent on demand it is my plan to see if I could either take on Peterborough Exchange or create a group that covers the same sort of areas that Peterborough Exchange does (although I do think some of them could be tweaked).

I know that others have tried and failed, but it is clear from the layout of the successful groups such as Sanctuary or Is there a Hull group? to give but two examples.

In my mind Groups should be about a bit of banter, but also enables you to get an idea what someone is like. This is very important if you are considering communicating with someone privately with a view to possibly meeting them. The likelihood of any meeting between two or more group members must be made greater if they live in the same geographical area surely?

Or am I sitting on my face?

Feedback welcome

Don't tell me that Peterborough in Canada is as full of seemingly reserved folk just like its namesake in the UK?

Places with the same name can be confusing when doing any kind of search on the web. The number of times I have looked for something in nearby Boston, Lincolnshire, England to be presented with pages of American websites!
