Sad to hear that

TBH I haven't looked too deeply into it. When the topic came up, I quickly followed the link to Perl Mongers and briefly looked at whether there was one in my home city of Coventry...it seems there never has been but Birmingham is not far away and there certainly was a group there.

London is a little over 2 hours drive from here so probably too far to tempt me to a Perl meeting unless there was going to be something very special to entice me.

talexb still hosts regular monthly meetings of Toronto Perl Mongers

If London is probably too far, Toronto is definitely too far!

Although it is somewhere I did previously want to visit. I wanted to take my late mother to Canada as my father trained there as a pilot and bomb aimer and she spoke of his tales with great curiosity. It was probably an impossible mission, though, as my mother had never flown and had no intention of doing so. She was born in India and travelled between the UK and India several times as a child by boat in the days before commercial air travel. 6 weeks on a boat being seasick for the whole journey must have been pretty hellish!
