Although it is fascinating to meet people from across the world on H2G2, and learn more about different countries and their different approaches to life, the Universe and Everything, it is also equally enjoyable to talk to people who know, say, where your home town is, and what is in it. People who have lived in the same towns, drank at the same pub, and got bullied at the same school as you.

The Wessex Researchers Group also aims to encourage researchers who wish to actually meet up in person! Although none have been organised by the Wessex Researcher Group as yet, there are 2 proposed meet-ups in the area this summer.
