Possible Monthly Wales meetsRight then, I have been thinking about this for a while and on the drive up to the Midlands meet Roo mentioned it to me as well so I thought I would gauge interest.
If there is enough interest I was thinking of setting up monthly Wales meets. Unfortunately the only hiccup I can see so far is that all the Wales members are spread pretty thin across Wales so finding a suitably central location for everyone may be difficult. As anyone who has driven through Wales will know even a 50 mile journey can take up to 2 hours. Obviously like other monthly meets (particularly Midlands Meets) the location will be shifted around every month to give everyone a chance to have something near to them. Idea and opinions please.
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsgood idea id be able to go the odd time
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsCool idea Phil,depending on the location you may well end up with visitors from other areas,Northwest,South West or Midlands
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meets
You mean foreigners!

Re: Possible Monthly Wales meets
Hi Spd wxm Hahaha don't mean enter the madness? Kidding
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsI'd travel to the meets that were arranged for the North Wales area. As you say Phil the south Wales meets maybe a bit far for me to travel though.

Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsPersonally I wouldn't like to travel further than just the other side of Aberystwyth If the meet was in South Wales
Hope no one will be offended by that
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsYeah but fair is fair roo and everyone needs a chance to get to a venue and yet you still wanted to drive a 200 mile round trip to get to the midlands meet
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meets
Phil I wasn't going to go into why .... but seeing as you have said that... The reason why I don't wish to travel down to South Wales is that when I was learning to drive I had a crash down there and its kind of put me off, I have never driven past Aber since.. And I am not stopping anyone who want's a meet down in South Wales, but all I am saying is that I wont be driving down there
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsOI Roo... Didnt mean to sound sarcastic, I didnt know you had an accident down there. I thought you meant that you didnt want to travel any further then Aber.
Of course, we could hold all the meets south of Aber so Roo doesnt come I was looking for "Just kidding" smilies but I couldnt find any.
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsYou had a crash in South Wales.... not nice. .... i had a crash in Bristol just after i learnt to drive, not that it's stopped me going there.... whats stopped me going there is its a badly designed tip
Anyhow, once my oil leak is cured (Phil) and i have a new green slip i'd be up for a meeting anywhere, although i would reserve the right to bring an ordinary car, better fuel consumption. Dan, don't see why South Wales would be a problem, you'll get around easier, we have one of those motorway things the northerners haven't cottoned onto yet
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsi dont mind traveling and at least theres some nice senery in wales.
The only boundry is your imagination.

Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsThere is nice scenery I would be up for meets I would have liked to come to the midlands meet, but it's a long time to leave Harvey when it's one of my days off, so gave it amiss this time, which was a shame, but if the meets are nearer, i can bring him

Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsis there any meets going on in Wales. Gives us newbies a chance to meet some of the regulars. Was hoping for Bala but finances say otherwise.
Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsTo be honest after sending out a few PM's and wotnots to various Welsh members it was deemed a little infeasible due to the relatively large distances and travel time.
To go from south to north Wales is 2+ hrs easy and even relatively short distances take some time to cover, many couldnt justify the time involved and there werent enough members in wales to make a meet worthwhile unfortunately.
Re: Possible Monthly Wales meetsI would be up for something. As you say location is the problem. I live rurally and your right when you say a 50 mile run can become a full day out. especially now toward caravan season lol.
