Starting a Group (C/P from HJ)

disenchantedenchantressI am seriously considering trying to set up a group again. I know there are groups I could go to the further I go into London, but actually travelling in can be time-consuming and expensive. I also am feeling that there MUST be more likeminded local people out there, that aren't either arseholes or flakes.
So what do I have to do? Firstly work out what type of group I want to do? Do I want to set up a Pagan Moot? (A monthly meeting in a pub for socialising/drinking.) A Circle at my home? I honestly don't know. I want to develop friendships with the possibility for working together. Am I looking at a women only group, or a mixed one? A Circle works better with just women, if I am honest, but a Moot works better with men. (Strange how having it in a pub changes the dynamic of a group.)
Then on the other hand, there is a distinct possibility that we will be moving from the area with the next 6 months, so is it worth even trying?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, just dunno.
The last time I tried, it was an abject failure. However, I did just ask friends, so maybe opening up to strangers is the answer?
