Well, I disagree that it would take up the entire meeting: perhaps you 
could have it before or after the regular meeting? Better yet, why not 
give a class on how and why to generate a key, then hold a keysinging 
the next month? Everyone who learned about GPG the first month will have 
a chance to create their key and bring it to the next month's meeting 
for the signing.

One of the many advantages of keeping your key on removable media. :)
