Spring/Early summer club meet

[Dum-Dum]

Wow, we're arguing already? Might as well throw my 2 pence in...

1. I think it's pretty safe that no matter when the date is, someone isn't going to be able to go. Personally, my financial year at work runs from October to September so April doesn't mean anything to me money wise. We'll put a few suggestions up and go with the majority. a) True, b) Financial year is 1st Monday in April to 1st Monday in April, Fact, c) f*ck the majority, we've never had a big Cornwall or North meet /show so lets go and see them for a change. People who want to not go to meets cos of the cost of fuel should go and sign up for GTi6OC



2. Not everyone is going to be able to/want to travel to certain places, and that's fine. One meet won't please everyone as we consistently see. Again, a couple of ideas, which are all relatively easy to get to for most members who are interested. Then we can switch it around for later meets. Just like the Christmas meet isn't always going to be in Reading. We say this all the time about moving meets to other palaces but never happens as most of our members and staff live in the South. The country is criscrossed with motorways and trunk roads so pretty much anywhere is easy enough to get to.






3. Cornwall will be better in Summer I think! Are you having a laugh, itll be too hot and youll never be able to move anywhere for tourists, caravans and tractors. Surely Cornwal in the spring rather than the cold north and then the lakes in the summer/autumn when its warmer and less likely to rain





4. End of April/May would be better weather-wise than the beginning of April. Easter camping this year was a wash-out! There were shows in July that were a wash out (bug jam for instance). You cant plan the weather this far in advance, only improve your chances. The closer you get to actual summer the more problems you have with people not being able to afford it because of wanting to go to shows.





5. We need somewhere with a mixture of camping and hotels, as it's understandable not everyone will want to stay in a tent. I thought the point of a camping meet was so that we could all stay together and have a laugh without people disappearing to various hotels or splitting up to moan about bar prices, choice of booze, the music or how crowded places are.





Now calm down everyone! Sensible suggestions please, not just those that will benefit you the most. I havent suggested anything that benefits me other than financial implications that I know affects most of the club (well those that cant afford to fly off on foreign holidays every other week)

In fact if this becomes yet another south/midlands meet then Im gonna set up a meet in The North or Cornwall myself.
