I have read the list of courses for FH with interest. Naturally they are all UK based, but has anyone thought of doing something similar for those of us not based in the UK? At my local Motel users of a rival software (Master Genealogist) from the Sydney area get together once a year for a two or three day seminar which looks seriously hands-on: they all sit around peering into their laptops. Is there any mechanism for getting together users of FH in the Sydney area, for example, or does such a group already exist?

It's a pity all courses are in London. I live in the north west of England and it would cost a fortune to get to London and stay over at least two nights, in order to attend at course. Why not hold a course further north? Perhaps you could do a survey to see how many people were interested and make a decision as to whether or not it would be viable.
