Lauren Huston I haven't done it much this year but in Melbourne the Sony camera community does a lot of catch ups and photo walks.
Sometimes it's nice to just hang out with people who speak the language, and I find it's a good way to see the world outside of my normal viewset (What are they taking a photo of? Oh I'd have never noticed that!). Everyone learns a bit that way!
tigg Very true. Nice just to sit on a bench in a park and chat and relax.
jazzie That sounds like you had a phantastic afternoon!
