Sorry, yes, to be gramatically correct I should have put brackets around the (+Birmingham.PM) so as a parenthetical it didn't count for agreement in number and gender.

Ah. I see. Well actually it says that those groups have mailing lists with no members. Which isn't quite the same as saying that the groups have no members. But obviously a mailing list with no members seems a little pointless and you'd generally expect most of the group members to be on the mailing list.
I deliberately didn't ask the group leaders how many actual members they had. Largely because from experiences with london.pm I know what a tricky concept membership can be:)

And our rather noisy Boston [pm.org] mailing list is shown as having 300 members and 0 posts per day. (And doesn't mention sometimes-social meetings.)
No poll / census is a perfect reflection of reallity -- the Map is not the territory.
But yes, it is funny that the last two YAPC::EU's have been run by groups with (reportedly) no members.
(-: Is this a sign that Barbie+Birmingham.PM should make some (read all) members redundant quickly,
