How to start a knitting group

I'm hopeful that one day I will find a regular, local knitting group that I can join.  Where mum lives in Leighton Buzzard they have a gorgeous wool shop (Nutmeg Needlecrafts), which is situated down a very old, cobbled, back street, just wide enough for two people to talk through.  Hidden off the beaten track, it's lovely and quirky with a cobbled, gated entrace and a pictureque window.  And they do coffee mornings where the locals bring their knitting with them, and they have an area at the back of the shop where you can sit and knit anytime you want. In Abbots Langley they have nothing like that.  :-(  Such a shame.
