I would love it to be in Warwickshire, becauase I live here and that would mean I can easily help organise. A week later or a week earlier in June pretty please. I can't change Mexico as I'm going via work.

But please don't move to late June or early July - that's why I missed last year. That's the start of the school holidays in Scotland and, as my wife is a teacher, that's when we go away 'cos we miss most of the English hoards who break up a week or two later!

I voted later to give me more time to work out being available, and voted to stay south for obvious reasons-I'm down in Kent

I'm happy to do the 4/5th June but would prefer the Midlands for this meet as we originally had decided
The Isle of Man should definitely be another planned venue though - maybe next year as we are hoping for Ireland this year already!

Hi Guys(and Gals!)
For me, start of June is do able, I'm on hol with my mummy end of June, start to mid July.
I do however have an idea for the venue however, as I'm a motorcyclist also, there is a big gathering at Bassetts Pole on the Shropshire/Warwickshire border, thats a little North for us Midlanders/Southerners, and a touch closer to our more Northerly friends.
I offer this venue as I know there is a Pub, with a VERY large carpark there, and a (sadly) a McD's there, again with a large carpark.
Just a thought!!!
Regards,
Steve

Fairly happy with the date - any later and could be an issue.

Would be nice to do it further North, but would be OK with Warwickshire too
