AIMA are excellent regarding help and are extremely fast, give them a shout if you ever want to be put in touch with someone to explain more to you.

As for meeting clients there's www.hedgeconnection.com which puts investors in touch with hedge funds. Besides that, play a ****e load of golf, best business networking sport ever.

If I was you, first trade and manage your own money for a year or two and get a track record. Obviously you would've had trading experience behind you before this (?) but everything you do from now you do in a new account etc. and keep records. Then when you prove that you are profitable, low drawdowns, then look into it. Of course, how much regulation there will be by that time... aaaaarrgh.
