Hi Zetz
You should try the forum chat room :) it's really friendly and a great place.
Otherwise by all means drop me a PM and I'd be happy to chat to a fellow brit.

It is indeed open to anyone - it's not restricted to UK based members, that's just where the event is happening. So if you're up for travelling, by all means keep checking back :D
Welcome Libra! I live in the Uk too. Everyone is really friendly here, just get posting and chat to a few people and you'll be making new friends in no time.
