If there isn't currently a group in my area, I'd be interested in starting one if there's sufficient interest. If a group exists, I'd like contact information. Is there a page on this site where established groups and contact info are listed by area? If not, that would be a good idea.
I've experienced a lot of problems with regard to having a critique group since moving--my current job won't allow me the opportunity to attend the only group that appears to function in my area, due to the hours I work. I would think that a group meeting on a Saturday would sooner serve those who work during the week. One Saturday per month for two hours isn't nearly enough to disrupt anyone's weekend plans, and with my group in the area I moved from, attendance was hit-or-miss. I attribute that to meeting during the week. You get off work, you're exhausted--too easy to sit on the couch, turn on the TV, and convince yourself to skip a meeting or two, and since you only meet once a month, that's enough to get off-track.
I need to attend or start a group that would meet locally on a Saturday afternoon once per month.
