Annual CC get together?

[bonj2]

We don't need paintballing or quad bikes.

We don't NEED tennis, skiiing, or knitting in the world - but these are things that it's nice to have.

Would it be more sensible to get the venue organised so people can then say (with more seriousness) whether they'd be able to make it... then get a suitable date?

Probably a better idea

Poll removed, and my post adjusted!

Cheers,
Shaun

well, we may have to come to a decision soon - the campsite I linked to above is fully booked. This is a bit further south

If you look at tyhe 'Where are you based?' map then the population mass is definitely England centric. The midlands would seem to be default territory

my thought was that there are very few places that can be reached by direct train from the rest of the UK other than London. Birmingham is the best of the rest, although York and Bristol are not too bad. Having said that, if I were coming down from Glasgow I'd expect to make it a long weekend to make the trip worthwhile.

Yeah, but I'm not about to suggest we all do knitting on a CC meet up, am I?

(Unless anyone wants to, I can bring spare needles....)

well i don't know - there's enough yoghurt-knitting going on...

Then I will get in a stock of milky string.

There are loads of very impressive folk on here who i'd enjoy meeting, but from the Moray to the midlands is a bit daunting.

I'm interested. And I'm with Arch when it comes to quad bikes and paintballing. Beer and pies, or tea and cakes, are all that we'd need besides the bicycles. London or Bristol areas are most reachable for me out of those suggested so far, although I'd make the effort to go further if time allows.

I think this when/where situation needs a benign dictator: ie you Shaun.
You dictate and those that can come will come - given sufficient time to make arrangements.
My preference would be for a long weekend somewhere scenic and with sunshine guaranteed!

+1. We do need to get a move on



....and, Shaun, you did read that bit about sunshine, didn't you?

what you mean you're scared..
arch is OBVIOUSLY scared, but i would have thought better of you...

Sounds like a great idea, and from my central-ish location will travel to enjoy this sort of event. Camping for me, with barbecues and beer, and marshmallows and tea, and music and merriment, can't wait!

Just to let you all know I have just started a Poll to find out where would be best for this North, South, East, West...
