How did you get started with the group? I have tried here in Augusta, GA but I can't seem to get the word out.

Re: Any Madison, WI Brits?
Did you try starting through Meetup? It was really easy, and we have 21 members already! I did a couple of things: Started the group and then advertised it to my Facebook friends, essentially asking them to join just so that when other people saw the group, there would already be members. I figured that would make it more likely for people to join in. Then, Meetup itself, once your group is approved, advertises it to people who they think would be interested in the group. That's where I got most of the Meetup members.
It may be that there aren't a lot of British people in Augusta. I know the area well because several years ago I was a newspaper reporter living in Columbia, S.C., and I covered South Carolina politics for the company that owns the Augusta Chronicle, Savannah Morning News and Bluffton Today. Madison has a significant international population, in large part due to the university and some of the businesses that are based here. I'm not sure that Augusta would.
