The problem is anyone who is target audience for a Wycombe group isn't a

I think you may be going about it the wrong way round. Rather than
canvas opinion, just do it.
"Build it and they will come" to paraphrase a film.
What seems to work well is just organise an event & let everyone know
when and where it's happening. If it's a regular event, rather than a
one off, then stick to it. Go to the same well published and organised
venue every week/month/fortnight or whatever interval you have
decided. Publish details clearly somewhere, let everyone know exactly
what it is or isn't.
It sometimes takes a few goes for people to come along and it become
"successful" (however you measure that).
I wouldn't let a few people who say they can't/won't come dent your enthusiasm.
Cheers,
Al.
I agree, it makes sense that people in Reading might not see the point
of a meet here. They are getting everything they need right there. No
doubt they never consider where the gaps might be. However I've wanted a
clear idea in my head of what exactly I'll be promoting the meet as and
at least a few people confirmed as interested. If at all possible I'd
like to avoid days where I'm the only one who shows up!
I've got a lot going on right now (child on the way this weekend!) so
I'm thinking the first week of October.
