just thought I'd float this idea. If there are enough serious attendees I would even consider doing the do the organisation.

 

I'm thinking a weekend camp, arrive saturday, drink, talk shit, camp and leave on sunday

 

the location I'm proposing

 

http://www.domsbikes...co.uk/index.php

 

is quite central in the UK.

 

opinions ??

I'd be up for that. How about the first or second weekend in July, before the schools break up? Just looked for some B&B's nearby for those averse to camping and there is Eaton Court Farm just along the road for £20 a night. There are a few others nearby too.

I'm not saying I was thinking of you when I posted, but it did remind me of the East Anglia G2G a couple of years ago, Chris.
