Could be interested, but as Entwood says, to get enough people it really needs to be in the better weather.

You should of let that run a bit Entwood. Spare time is tricky generally for most.

Might be able to make it dates dependent.

We do a very good B&B here Al, especially in the summer time as it usually runs into a BBQ later on with suitable amounts of amber nectar  :D Swindon only 20 minutes from us at 140 mph :y

Is Swindon classed as South West ??
I would have thought somewhere around Poole would have been good. I always see loads of Omega's down here. Probably not members though. :(
Good shopping for swmbo's if a weekend meet. And I would have thought in reasonable distance for coast and inland with good access routes.

What about somewhere close to Bristol? Appreciate it's not exactly Devon or Cornwall but has easy access from M4 and M5 then.

Then we could all go to Rob G's emporium and buy up all his stock!

Now..That is an idea ;D :y

Actually, I have a relation in Swindon, so there or here at my tin tent in Dorset could act as base camp for me.

Yeah, looking that way isn't it.

Bristol is very close to Newent, so (even though I'd prefer Bristol) I think it would be fair to move the SW meet further south.  Exeter would be the largest place south of Bristol..... forgetting Bridgwater, Taunton etc.

Unless of course everyone wants Bristol..... If so, I'd put myself up to arrange a decent meeting place, arrange a drive to see the famous sights (SS Great Britain, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Stapleton Road etc etc).

I concur that decent weather would be good'er'er than Winter.
