I've been saying exactly the same thing for a while. Much as it saddens me, I do think that (specifically) London meets are moving on an it is not the same beast that we remembered. The sheer size alone makes it difficult I think to have the same community feel.
It doesn't help that we are older and... more battle scarred than we used to be. I just had a wonderful weekend with a couple of old timers but generally I actually feel a bit cagey at London meets these days.
So yes, keep in touch! Us grey muzzles need to stick together. In was even thinking that we should have a "blast from the past" at the ye old London at some point.
