It is in some way. in my humble opinion at least, a good thing to advertise regular meets in different areas on the events calender, don't we usually direct newbies to *check out the EVENTS PAGE for meets in your area??
From these meets newbs get to find out more about the site and other stuff they may otherwise miss, only prob for them may be recognising other members so adding yourself on the events page at least gives them a face to look for(noodles would be an easy one to pick out at Squires) rather than the ad hoc I'll be there by one person
