national meet

[andysd1]

would there be an interest in a national meet, find field, put up a tent, get the BBQ going,

[frontydan]

Hell Yeah.
I for one would be well up for that following the success of the GWRA weekend i'm sure there would be a lot of interest, from both people who attended and people who missed out because after the event i think alot of people realised that they missed out on one hell of a fun weekend.

Where do i sign up???????????
Cheers
Dan

I agree with Dan, people realise they missed out on a great opportunity to meet and socialise in person with other forum members. Andy the idea of a national meet sounds great and would be even better if we could do some Laning or another GWRA or some other frontera related activity.

Booked for the weekend, camping pay and play with some of the countries best green laning on your doorstep if you didnt fancy the P&P, plenty to do around and about for families to.

most men in one mankini, laning would be out as there would be way to many, i was just thinking along the lines of meeting up Friday or Saturday night having a few beers, camping over, alex cooking breky, or a play site but then that would mean money involved,

Look up there ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[andysd1]

i was think more central to get more of the scottish clan down, and the Southerners up not for getting the we Irish folk over here

[andysd1]

no you look up

[bobbinsjob]

count me in

Now now Fishy

Needs to involve off roading otherwise it would just be a WI meeting. As long as the individual groups are kept small laning won't be a problem. Booking a p+p for the weekend would be great.

I know a few local LR groups in Liverpool have booked Bala for the weekend and had good reviews.

Andy,
i understand the theory about making the meet central....ish if it were to be planned for a one night stop over, but there is another angle to look at this from.

If the meet was planned around a weekend, i.e friday afternoon / evening through to Sunday afternoon / evening then this would make the journey worthwhile, you only need look at the areas we came from for the GWRA to understand my point on this one.
Obviously i would favour Bala due to my location but i also believe that there is a good pay 'n' play site at Kirton in Scunthorpe which i guess most people would travel for.
With regards to laning i agree that the prospective numbers may make this prohibitive whereas a pay 'n' play site would allow attendees the opportunity to play if they want or they could sit out for a few hours to chat, eat, drink, attend the inivitable frontera workshop, etc, etc, before resuming the playing with all the other members.

Personally i have been hoping that another meet was going to be in the offering because the GWRA really was a personal highlight of the last 12 months so all i say is bring it on,(so much so i might even consider investing in a mankini for the next event.)

its cancelled already

[alex]

Keep me in the loop. I can do Brekkie, up for p&p too.

[Drift]

Ok thats the cook sorted

[andysd1]

ok lets get some ideas rolling, before we get numbers, lets get a place, then we can sort out a date (weekend)

[andysd1]

lets try and make it bigger than the GWR,
on another note, for the ones who dont want to use there truck at a p&p site, i will gladly give you my keys and let you have fun

[Drift]

The reason I chose Bala was it has attractions all around and different options, but Im more than willing to go near enough anywhere though as the family will be with me I aint going nuts on a pay and play

[jellybaby]

after next may please to many other things to pay before then but i'm in
