I found a home... thanks INETA ;-)
After spending the past year without any local developer affilliations I finally found - via the INETA site - that there was in fact a .NET Users group in my home town - http://www.ineta.org/GroupDetail.aspx?GroupID=569&tabindex=1.
As it turned out, the group were on the lookout (so to speak) for people that were able and willing to share .NET experiences - so of course I've offered to do what I can :-) My first talk is on the 9th of July and will be the start of a series that I think I'll call "Mining for Nuggets in the ASP.NET Starter Kits" :-) Here's a link to the page that contains the agenda for that evening:

If you come along that night don't forget to say "hi"!
