I'm really keen to encourage more action on the forum and see if we can generate a fun, interesting and resourceful community here.
Firstly I love the idea of small groups forming outside of the retreats consisting of ex retreaters and possibly outsiders too. As we all know getting together and playing with others is often the best way to improve many aspects of our playing. I will support these groups in any way I can with material, ideas for structure, format and content to create a fun, fulfilling experience for the participants. First of all I am offering two sets of GR songbooks to the first group gathering to send me a pic with themselves and some kind of reference to GR - evidence of GR stickers / mugs/ songbooks in.
