I was thinking I might try to start a SAFE meetup in Gloucestershire but first decided to see what is already going on, whether it is likely to be feasible etc. So I went to my first Cheltenham JavaScript Meetup last night and had the chance to talk about my work as well as learn from guys who do JS for a living. It was like old times. 
There were five of us in total, all male, knowledgeable and helpful, age from early twenties to ancient (two of us 
) and the organiser is very friendly and enthusiastic.
We all brought laptops and each took time to show what we were working on, including of course me showing a bit about SAFE which went down well. Quite a ‘bit’ really! Once I start it is hard for me to stop 
but the other projects were also impressive and I learned a lot from listening and watching, so I really enjoyed it.
If anyone near Gloucester, Cheltenham etc is interested in JavaScript or SAFE I highly recommend it and I’ll be going along regularly.
And if anyone is interested in a SAFE Meetup please let me know.
Here is the page on meetup:

Afterwards one of the guys messaged me about the javascript-dojo slack group so I’m trying to join that ATM.
I’ve also posted this to the Dev forum
