If you feel there aren't enough events, or the matter isn't getting the coverage it deserves (which it does), then get off your ass or pick up the phone and change the situation instead of whinging about it.
The memory exists inside of all of those who have posted. Arrange to visit a local school next year and tell the kids about it (as a poster has), organise an event or get together with your mates and raise a glass.
This thread seems a little self-defeatist; not a trait the 'few' would have been accused of.
