Welcome tiny 9095 and hope you are enjoying your Bongo.
Regarding meetings locations, somewhere scenic and 'in the middle' of an area where lots of Bongos are would seem the best idea. There's some lovely bits of Kent and East Sussex and I reckon the London and Essex owners (plus the South Coast ones) would love a chance to get out of the congestion for a bit of peace and quiet. I used to love going out around Chartwell, Sevenoaks, Ditchling Beacon, Firle Beacon etc. when I was a South Londoner. Get scouting for sites I reckon, make a suggestion on here and see who jumps at the idea
Too far for me alas though these days
