If we are considering a 3 day event to supplement the current structure, can I assume that where this takes place is paramount. It should be somewhere that requires a bit of effort to get to, so as to make most of us feel that we have been somewhere. If so, then the following criteria should be considered.
1. Easy access from the West Midlands
2. East access from the West Midlands
3. Venue to be as close to the West Midlands, and as far away from the South Coast as possible.
Can I suggest that day 1A is held in Steve Redferns back garden, day 1B in Andy Duncans Shed and Day 2 in Brian Yates" spare bedroom!!!
