I would say let's organise something but not label it the AR. Forget the AR. Just doing a large scale GM meet with everyone invited is exactly the same thing without bringing the pressure of it having to live up to a load of other ARs and 'do the annual event justice'. Labelling the event the AR would be like calling your son Adolf Hitler; he's still your son, but he's going to get off on a bad foot.
Call it the Guildford Massacre, just to feck off the Scots!
