Prawny Baby Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Glouc is about as far north as i can go.absolutely as far as I could possibly consider going for a meet..... it's like 2 1/2 hours away, not to mention £50 round trip in fuel.

Fish-Finger-er Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 We had trouble like this last time, we settled on a location closer to Birmingham, but no one from down south came you see. All we can do is find the best compromise on location, too far north = no southeners, to far south = no northeners. I've suggested Gloucs as it is just about half way between prawn and myself, we're not dead set on a location yet, this is only day one, so feel free to throw any ideas into the pot, b etter than than say you can't make it and not suggest somewhere else Numbers would be nice as well, last time I believe we had 13/14 deffinates and only 6 of us turned up.the location for this event shall be made to be exactly halfway between a southerner and a semi northerner. Nah at the end of the day, no ones really ever really going to be 100% happy with the location. If you ask me gloucesters a bit too south west to be honest ( 3 hours from london, 1.5 hours from birmingham, 3 hours from manchester. doesnt really have any benefit to people other than the cornwallers) birmingham for example is like 2.5 hours from london, 1.75 hours from manchester, 0 hours from birmingham, granted if your from the very south west, its worse for you, but its a bit better for pretty much everybody else. not to mention that making it gloucester, means everyone ends up using the m5(i.e everyone does the last 20/35 (Dependant on south or north) miles from the same direction, wherease with birmingham, youve got motorways coming in from like 5 directions.)

Fish-Finger-er Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yeah, that was the appeal with Brum last time, but we've already had 2/3 people say if it furthe rnorth than Gloucs they won't come. I dunno, lets see who's interested first and we'll have to go with a majority vote.along with sexymike saying he wont come further south than brum.

Revolver Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Might come in someone else's car, like last time Or, if I'm really lucky, I can come in my own car. And not the 126 either... We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OD404 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 So far not so good then, like I say, we'll give it a few days, see who's interested and go from there To be honest you won't come to a reasonable consensus on a location (or a date for that matter ). Your best bet is to suggest somewhere local-ish to you and see who can make it, otherwise you'll end up going round in a 'too north, too south' circle. That's what I ended up doing with the Mk meet. You run the risk with picking somewhere not local to anyone of not finding an appropriate place to meet.There has been a lot of talk of a southern meet, but so far no-one has stepped up to the plate to arrange...I hope to attend the next meet, as I did the last one, and am happy to travel as well.

RobinJI Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 The reason I didn't go last time wasn't because it was too far north, it was because it was kinda far west, and the British road system made my only decent route basically a right angle and no where near as the crow flies. In other words, MK, from the south west = a bitch.I think what we need to do is stop trying to find the geographical centre of the uk, and put it like Boumsong said, in the middle of the people that want to come, as in, if there's 10 people coming from the south, and only 3 from the north, it makes sense to have it a little further south than the exact centre.Anyway, I'm up for Gloucestershire. not everyone would be ending there trip heading south down the M5, I'd imagine most people coming from the east would be heading in on the M4. And the southerners/south westerners would be heading up A roads/north on the M5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Everyone ought to decide if it seems like something they wanty to do, then all put markers on something like google earth, and figure out a mid-point that people are willing to go to. Obviously, you might loose some people, but it's the best compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
