[maxmsp] maxers in the Midlands UK?..

Hi All,,
Are there any fellow maxers based in the Midlands who might be up for a bit of brain-pooling once a month or so? I've been using masmsp for a couple of years now, mostly learning on my own, with occasional posts here when I get really stuck!....
Anyone else in that position where you think 'if only I could ask that question face to face with someone,then it just might all drop into place.....' ?
I'm fairly literate with Max, slowly getting there with MSP, about to start discovering Jitter, and am also interested in developing externals in the future (see Dev for my helpless posts!). 
I am based in Nottingham and carless, but would happily either travel to surrounding cities Leicester, Birmingham, Derby, Sheffield...(trains permitting!), or host here in Nottingham.
I will shortly be renovating my website, in order to outline my patches/provide examples/provoke interaction of brain cells. There's a few sounds up there at the moment, and some old max/logic pro ideas I was working on some time ago. Things will be updated in a week or so.

Any maxers in manchester? More specifically, any up and coming maxers?
I've been learning it on my own for a couple of years now(very slowly), and
it'd be great to meet up with other people in a similar position.

We could meet up every so often, and go over tutorials, give each other
assingments etc..


Or, if your very good at max, and wouldn't mind giving a couple of
lessons/coaching, that'd be great too.



Here are some examples of where I'm at max/msp wise:
