Mav,
If there's enough of a demand for an official DSC region based in Coventry, why don't you or another member simply consider being a Regional Organiser.
I'm sure that John and the lads would be happy to supply free coffee etc., if you wanted to use them (or the pub next door) as a base camp.
Let me know if you can fit it in and I'll organise for full DSC support via this site, Pronto, mail outs etc. I'm sure that JHP/Duc Cov would point any new customers in your direction as well :-)
