A parlor/local connections/pod group [a small group or subgroup or micro-region or...] is simply a smaller piece of our SAQA region. Forming these groups can be extremely helpful - it's may be easier to coordinate more regular meetings with a lower quantity of members, especially on a tighter geographic scope. These groups give you obvious car-pool-buddies when we have regional meetings or other interesting events which may be a bit further away. It's also helpful for dropping off or picking up work to various shows or exhibitions - being more local to each other makes the logistics easier and seeing each other more frequently allows a greater trust in handling each other's pieces.
