Hi Chaps
Im afraid Im with Nimminz, Whitby, Clumber Park, Midlands etc all good.
The price of fuel dictates that I would nt go further south than Leicester or further north than the Lake District, but I do know a cracking little camp site between Windermere and Ulverstone that is A) CHEAP AND B) A CRACKING PLACE TO DRIVE TO.
Also have seen other car clubs meeting there for an overnight or a weekend.

I would have to go for "alternate" - I like the idea of " south - middle - north - middle - south etc.

Luckily I have no problems how far I travel, but we must remember that a lot of 300 owners run them on a budget and (with fuel costs as they are) may shy from traveling from north to middle even. If we stay "middle" I think we will loose from both north and south and I believe we should cater for all. Certainly in a south year we would loose a good number from the north (and the reverse) but if we stick in the middle there will be a number who will not able to attend at all. Three areas alternated seems the fairest in the end.
