Not if you live in Scotland..............

Thing is, we have to accept that some years you have to go a long way and other years go a short distance. My first AR was in N. Wales, met folks at the Ponderosa, so I've had one on my doorstep and it's my turn to travel for a few years. (this year was my 2nd AR - not trying to sound like a veteren here!)

I think this phrase is quite pertinent here....

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time

trust me, it'll be the wrong weekend, wrong location, wrong weather, wrong camp site, but none of that matters, as long as we have the right attitude it'll all work, think we just proved that.

Cheers Mark.

The only alternative would to have the AR in the same place every year, Burton upon trent is reckoned to be the most central town in the uk, eg most equidistant from every other habitable areas, motorway networks etc.. but then we lose the variety. I suppose the only fair way of doing it is with a poll then everyone gets a vote as to where we will have it next year, and if its half as much fun as it was this year then it will be definitely worth travelling for, I might even bring a bike !
