AGM - Uttoxeter as the venue
for me its more important that its closer to the organisers than members. better to have a quality show than a weekend packed full of cars but the organisation is half assed.
i think for people who have to travel a long way need to work out if its a show they want to attend. if it is then you can prepare.
dont come for 1 day come for the weekend as its so much better. out of all 3 days the sunday was the most boring for me as the friday and saturday was a great laugh. not saying sunday was boring as it was all amazing.
uttoxeter is a great venue. plenty of room good facilities which when your camping is a great help and has a tesco seconds away and a nice drive out for the rally. the organisers know the place so each year can be made better and better without as much effort than a new place.

Yes according to Google:
Inverness-Uttoxeter = 424 miles, 7h39mins
Penzance-Uttoxeter = 306 miles, 6h
So it is already south bias if anything
So all this talk of moving south when it should be moving north about 45 mins

Let's hope the next events organiser doesn't live in Scotland then

Back at gaydon next year then? Lol
We need a map so we can pin our locations to see where there's the highest concentration of cars!
It's irrelivent to me where it is as I'll go still.

i dont think this will work.
its a constant changing formula. as you know this year has 200 plus more members. so members are leaving and joining constantly so the location would change

i know a club at alternates the AGM between regions and a i also know that every year it is a nightmare
we have a good place with all the facilities we need on site and as a fair price
i dont think we could rely on the regional host of that area to organise a venue and all the other things as the committee might not be able to travel the distance
plus if it was southern the northers would want it northern.
it's only once a year

But that only shows the members that want their location know to others.

Nobody said it had to be in the South as that wouldn't work either, I was just suggesting south of Birmingham.

As Dano says if you don't like driving then your in the wrong club, or car.
BigbadChris mentions putting up ticket prices - maybe that should go to a vote in the member only section.
We will always struggle for a decent amount of traders because we are a small show with one make of car.

Location isn't an issue for 90% but you would get more southerners willing to come which in turn would boost the clubs funds.

The rally makes it for me as I love driving my MK1's and think its awesome to see others doing the same.
I'll come every year if it stays the same but if it changes…..

Nothing wrong with that as it has to be within easy reach for them.
That said, the distance was the final nail in the coffin for me not turning up this year (there was other factors)
I wouldnt be suprised if the majority who turned up lived less than 2 hours away.
I will be there next year tho :-)

As has been said, closer for us southerners than the scots!
Venue wise, i haven't been, but without paddyfields to camp in it sounds ideal. Hard standing, grass, close shops, proper buildings for the evening, all good in my view. Roll on next year and hope it won't be threatening torrential rain and floods etc. . .
Oh, and if it wasn't british grand prix weekend would be good too. Lolololol ha ha

the group of members finish in newcastle (there are more above but not in large group)
the they finish at weymouth (not alot going on in cornwall apart from a few)
draw a line draw a line between and stafford isn't far from the centre
it has good connecting route from the north M6- A50
and front the south M5 or M1 - A50
