Silk purses and sow's ears etc. Whilst high standards are nice - they aren't really essential - are they?

Ed, I'm in total agreement with you. Was talking about it with Stretch and Squirrel Hunter on Thursday night and really....all that's needed is a field to camp in, toilets, somewhere to get food like a pub nearby and a well planned route.

Messie and Vox did a superb job this year and When Hovis asked me if I wanted to help him, I honestly thought that we could do it, but it would never live up to peoples expectations and so we'd probably have a complete nightmare.

Then we stayed away at Baskerville Hall Hotel for a weekend camping with a Land Rover Competition rally and could not believe what I was able to arrange for such a ridiculously low price.

The venues are out there, but I think unless you happen to stuble upon them as I did and relate them to and SV AR.......they can be very hard to find.

I just hope we get it, but to be honest.......I think it may end up being a perfect venue for any Wales weekends......we'll have to wait and see!

AR10 - Wales

Happy with what has been proposed lets just sort the date?
Need more time for others to beat it?

I personally can't see how anyone can beat what has been offered by the Wales crew so lets get to voting on the dates?

I think I love you x

Like I said at the start, its your forum, its your weekend, you guys should have input into the process of site selection and dates.

Therefore IMHO I dont see any good reason why somebody shouldnt start a thread with a poll in it. However I dont think this person should be a mod / admin or somebody who has put a proposal together.

So if somebody wants to start a poll then IMHO get on with it, dont wait for a mod to come along and do it...
