    It's nothing about politics and what countries are in what almagamtion but it's about the capability of members to attend a meet hence I'm suggesting more than one national to eventually suit as many people as possible whether they be from this or that side of the Irish Sea.

    We've got 170+ people voting and hence possibly wanting to go to a national. You can't say to all of them that a single location of Ireland, Dartmoor or Scotland is where it's going to be as a lot will not either be able to make the venue or the eventually decided date.

    Can people just forget all that has been said over that last 17 pages then and tell me if they think it is too much to just rotate it every year as i have already said, giving everyone a opportunity to attend a "national" close to home. This way everyone will be happy and noone can complain.

    I also know that there's some absolutely fantastic countryside and rides over there. Add to that the great people and it really is a fantastic venue.

    I really don't know what all the fuss is about.

    But I think it really is quite sad, when a bunch of supposed adventurers moan about travelling to a venue that isn't just down the road.

    Flippin' well said! Thank you mate.

    The above really should be a new thread as yes it is a good suggestion abiet too late for this year as it's already been put to a vote. I was more just trying to suggest a way to keep most happy as the result of the vote will not.

    Still wondering though why there has to be this single meet labeled the NATIONAL as wherever the national is held it will always bar some members going by pure venue and date.

    fair enough. So a poll to decide a suitable name then???

    How about the Annual Big Meet with no one location?

    Or, "fairly large meeting for a tenth of the membership on one of several tiny islands, just off Europe that can't easilly be attended by any of the members from other continents"

    Sorry I think someone has been beating me with the "sarcastic stick" this morning (again)

    Kymmy, you've got a point, how do you fancy organising the "International" and will you hold my hand cos otherwise I'll get lost going all that way.

    Wouldn't it be nice to go as a group to somewhere sunny with peeps wot have a clue, sorta like our Spanish and Italians chums do?

    Ohh no now I've been hit with the "acutely over-optomistic and ambitous stick"
