This was my latest suggestion for a sitcom writers social (the LCW lot also do sketches). This was posted on the 1st Jan:
'I'd like to kick off this year by saying a huge 'thank you' for the amazing work that Mark and Aaron do for this website.
It's a brilliant resource for comedy writers, and long may it continue.
We owe you.
On the subject of booze, how do people feel about an occasional/monthly/bi-monthly comedy writers get together? Pubs are desperate for business. If we can promise them 30 people we'll get a free room somewhere.
We're a bit busy with workshops, scripts, meetings, upcoming shows etc so does anybody want to take on the mantle of social secretary?
Go on, go on, go on...you know you want to.
If not you who? If not now when?'
Don't have the energy to trawl through the 2011 forum to find out when I last mentioned it there. If you do, good luck to you.
