UK Dab 'Iv? thlIngan Hol yejHaD bomuvta''a'? boghom'a'? maghomlaH'a'?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the above is meant to be:
     How many of you out there live in the UK? Are you members of the KLI? Do you ever meet? Would you like to get together to jaw?

UK Dab 'Iv? thlIngan Hol yejHaD bomuvta''a'? boghom'a'? maghomlaH'a'?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the above is meant to be:
     How many of you out there live in the UK? Are you members of the KLI? Do you ever meet? Would you like to get together to jaw?
UKDaq Dab 'Iv I would say...
Furthermore, because you are unlikely to address a whole group, I would stick to Da- instead of bo- (singular instead of plural)
lastly, maghomlaH'a' would mean "could we meet?" not "would you like to get together".

My version:

UKDaq Dab 'Iv? tlhIngan Hol yejHaD Damuvta''a' 'ej boghomchuq'a'? chaq maghomlaH'a'

I'd say membership of KLI is not a prerequisite for a qepHom... I know of a certain yearly qepHom which draws in 15+ klingons, is an official KLI event but nevertheless I think maybe 5 of the participants are KLI members... 8-)

The UK is not a small country (well, maybe in an American sense it is...), and although I know Kehlan and toQDuj zantai-jonwI are in the UK, I also know they are almost at opposite ends...

If you do find a group of people to qep with and the location is near any of the cheap flight airports in the UK, I might even find time to attend... Cool

Not to nitpick  Wink but Jon is correct. Dab includes the idea of location, and means "to live at, to dwell in", so it doesn't take -Daq.

Thanks for the comments. After I wrote it I immediately thought that I should've used a -chuq. In that last sentence chaq is good, I keep forgetting about the adverbs. I used bo- because I felt I was addressing a crowd, but I can see as a reader you would think of yourself in the singular.

I thought it did sound a bit strange... lol. Never take my word only when it comes to tlhIngan Hol... I'm the eternal beginner...
