Then again, who would be on it and will people who aren't on it accuse those who are on it of being a clique? It's a minefield.

Which is why it would be good to have different groups doing different things - Fireman suggested voluntary work for the community at one time but I don't think anything was ever organised about that. Without organisation things just don't happen.
