I've read some of the previous posts about the lack of a UK xl1 owners club but was wondering if there has been any update as to a UK club being created?

If not is there an ongoing petition I could sign to voice my support?

Well, I'd be up for it - but only two would not make a very impressive 'club'...;)

Well, if I can find an authorized Canon dealer in the UK to help sponsor our forums, then you're on the way. Still no answer from Optex. Great tagline, Jon.

Make that four. Should we think about hiring the Millennium Dome for the Inaugural General Meeting?

I was hoping for the Royal Albert Hall. I'd swim across the pond for that.

Well in a week or so, my XL1-s arrives, so don't hold the first meeting until then. Any decent pub should do fine I reckon.

BTW, as a first post I'd like to thank you Chris for your website. Lots of information and you helped me choose the camera that I hope will make me rich and famous. Well, actually I'll settle for not working nights anymore.

Cheers for the interest guys, i think its pretty bad that canon don't give the rest of the world an XL1 club they can join. I'm sure they'd make enough money to warrant it.

Count me in for a Canon XL1/s owners club...

Surely Canon should provide such facility for the whole world.

All the best,

Maybe Chris its time to start a British Neighbourhood, with in the 'Whos in your neighbourhood' forum.

Nice to see people from all over the British Isles.

All the best,

Yes Ed, that may be a good idea, as we seem to have entire contingents of Canadians, Brits and Aussies forming up around here. Hmm, I wonder if we should lump everybody from the Isles into one Neighborhood forum specific to the UK, and another for all the ANZAC's...

Sounds about right. Maybe not even a UK specific forum but a Europe forum.

The decission is yours!!!

All the best Ed Smith
