It might be worth noting that the OakTable is not for hire - though a number of its members are, offering in my biased opinion excellent value for money. As such it doesn't have a business to benefit. Rather the name reflects quite well the spirit and intention of the group. Check out http://www.oaktable.net/littleacorns.jsp for more on this.

This particular member would not belong to an organisation that described itself rather grandly as 'experts' or 'gurus' or any similar term. I don't believe that I would be alone in that.
