Is there any chance/possibility of the Lakes meet being over a Bank Holiday ?? The extra day would make it far more viable in terms of travelling.
If it can't be then we'll probably have to choose between cornwall/lakes as I can't really justify both just for a short weekend. Round trip of 400 miles-ish for both
As I said in the Cornwall thread, there's no point in diluting our efforts. The Lakes meet was well attended last year and is closer for most members so it seems like this is a more viable option.
I'm sure that there will be opportunities for one or more get togethers in the summer in Cornwall as there are several contributors who spend a week or two here in the summer.
If anyone is down this way in the summer then let us know and we'll see if we can organise a one day meeting.
