I am not particularly fond of playing in public myself but it is wonderful to be in a room of like minded people, where you can talk totally freely. I am pretty reserved myself but enjoy the social element of few events I have been to.

There is an event near me but that is a work shop and they seem to want you to take part rather than just mingle and I wouldn’t want to be at an event that forced participation.

I often thought about getting down to organising something myself but the form it should take escaped me. It is such a wide question – some like public play some don’t, some like work shops some don’t, do you have stalls? and so on. Its tricky
I have heard BoundCon in Germany is very good but haven’t been yet.

So basically I would like something of that nature to go to but cant put my finger on what form it should take.
