Hi Ron - thanks for the reply - so in your case is the 27th or 28th not something you'd be likely to want to come to, even if it was further north than previous years? I'm just trying to get an idea of how many people want to come or can come and on what dates and how far from home in each case!

I won't be able to make this this year either due to work commitments.

Neil, I was basing my response on it being down South but if it was somewhere nearer I'd certainly consider attending. Any excuse to get the thirsty beast on the road. It'd only be the 27th or 28th for me

We're in Southampton for Xmas, travelling back on the 27th.
We could detour like last time (The Leopard Inn meet) on the way back and stop for a few hours if it's not too far off-route. So really anywhere within half an hour or so of our M40/M42/M6 Southampton to Manchester route would be good, if it's the 27th.

So far Neil, it sounds like somewhere on a line between you and me but convenient for moltuae. Windsor/Beaconsfield/Wycombe axis?
Thought Adrian_E might have chipped in too, especially if it's "darn sarf"...

Might be an idea to meet at a tourist attraction .... eg Windsor Castle, Bletchley Park. There would probably be admission fees of course (group discount maybe?) but it could provide a good photo backdrop and, where we'll probably all be arriving at different times, it'll give anyone waiting things to do/see.

Any of those dates should be fine by me, Neil. I'll certainly come along if it's around that central area.

I'm struggling to find any good venues that are actually open between xmas and new year on the dates we are looking at, which is why it may be better to just pick somewhere central with good parking or backdrops and good food and just organise it there. Any more views on who can and cant come? for example if it was further north will more people from the manchester/leeds areas come or from scotland etc, or if thats not likely then we would get more people to a meeting based around birmingham or northampton etc and I can then sort that
