With all the different clubs I have been with (not just LRs) you ALWAYS have to have regional meets and maybe an annual meet.
So you have monthly (or quarterly) meets in a local area (South East, South West, Midlands, South Wales, North Wales, North East, North West and then a couple in Scotland). You then have an Annual meet where the regional groups can convoy up (or down). But this one will normally need to be planned over 6 months in advance so people can ensure time off work/ de-conflict with family life etc. Somewhere like Midlands- maybe do a Solihull factory tour as part of the meet, or combine it with a show (Billing or Eastnor Castle)- Saturday meet/ off-road and then Sunday show. Yes, you will NEVER make EVERYONE happy. But an 'Annual meet on the opposite side of the M25 to 80ish% of all the members will MASSIVELY reduce the attendance. With this you can then ask Martin really nicely to add 'regional groups' to the forum where you discuss local meets/ events in the area. As for me, it is a bit far (at the moment). Glyn   |

Was very interested when I saw the thread, but when I saw location....sorry as with others it is the wrong side of London for me. For many it would be a day trip for such a meet, but the location doesn't allow that.
Stoneleigh Park would be a good location for something as those who want to camp, can do, and undercover area can be available if required and more importantly could include a convoy trip to Solihull or use Gaydon as a location.  |

Its a hard one
 I think the fairest thing to do would be smack dead in the center of the uk but every will need to be devoted to going. CSK Automotive

Or have a North and a South meeting
 Not ideal, but at least that way you'd get to meet a fair few members  An engine to TDi for!

Not ideal. You can say that again. Can you imagine the personality clashes involved.   Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes.

I have opted for the third option, but only because its the Harrogate show the following weekend, and I can't really spare the time. The distance isn't too much of an issue, but I guess a more central location would be preferable. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Well it would be 250 miles for us each way. Distance not the major problem.
However a week before a major show we will be otherwise engaged. Brendan |

Due to not alot of interest we have decided to call this off
Perhaps a central meet would be a nice idea on a date which does not clash with shows or are weeks apart CSK Automotive
