Tony,
there are three Yamaha Owners forums UK based. Each has an annual meeting. Two are in Skegness and one is just outside Manchester. My wife and I have been making the trip to the UK to attend these affairs since 2009. We have made some very good friends and have totally enjoyed our visits with them. The events run from Thursday-Sunday usually. During the meetings there is a chance to learn a lot, share what you know, do some playing, and listen to others, plus just have a good time. We usually use these visits as a jumping off place for our Europe vacations.
