Just a quick note, but rather than type up the detail, you should go to: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2009/uksi_20090864_en_1 where you will find the Legislative Reform Order that came into force on 6 April 2009 and allowed you to stop advertising for CVL meetings (whether new CVLs or conversions from MVLs).
This news was in the R3 technical bulletin released on 8 April, but other than that I have not seen much publicity about it, so a reminder may be appropriate.
