Yup, its called the meet & greet Move your mouse on the TER

General Board, then a list of discussion board will appear. Look at the middle of the drop screen, and there you will see Meet & Greet Discussion Board.

just like a date would, so be prepared.

They are open to all mongers who pass screening.  Some review, some don't.  Whether or not you review is not an issue. I've never of a M&G for reviewers only.

JK dude! I don't(and won't) go to M & G's. Too many mongers and hookers in one place for me.

Tey usually are nothing more than a 2-3 hr cocktail party.  You can meet other hobbyists and providers.  There is no activity going other than conversation but you can often get a date with someone that strikes your fancy for after the party.  Or just make contacts for the future, it's totally up to you.

There is no pressure to do anything but chat while at the party, in fact, anything other than that is frowned upon.

I would thing some cites do but they don't call it a m&g.  More like "an email group"  And they never post about it.
