How I would love to attend this meet - one of my most favourite places in the country BUT I will be in County Clare, Ireland, at least I will be somewhere beautiful with my camera attached to me.
Everything is possible - just not today.

Was looking forward to the thought of a meet closer to me, but unfortunately I'm away on holiday.

Mind you I've not got anything planned or booked yet!
Wonder what the other half and kids would say to the Lakes

Feeb, we had a meet at St. Albans a couple of years ago, and it would be good to do it again down this way. The Lakes are a bit far for me too.

We have quite a few members in Essex, Herts and Bucks, so if we can find a suitable place that's good for all, then there's no reason why not. Only takes me about 75 minutes to get to Oxford for instance...

We did mention that Stowe School (near Buckingham) might be a good place for a meet 'down here'. What would everyone think to organising one there, on a seperate date of course!
