I would like to invite a number of people for a meeting, however I would like
to keep their email addresses private.
I can't see a way to bcc the addresses.
Any ideas?

There isn't a way to do that.

If it's so important that they don't know who else is coming, you could try
this work around but I don't think it will manage the replies to the meeting
.....

Send an email to the attendees with the meeting inserted as an Item.  Insert
| Item and browse to the meeting.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

I couldn't get that to work either.
Basically I have a list of members whom I would like to invite to a meeting
and basically put a reminder on their calendars. However I cannot legally let
everyone (600+people) see each others email address. The whole point is also
to get a list of everyone that replies that they will attend.

To meet those restrictions, you'd probably have to send 600 individual meeting requests.

Try another tack:
Send email with voting buttons.
Tell them to put it on Calendar  themselves.
