Firstly, the location is down to the organiser-Munster (Wolfgang), Brussels (Mooman) Groningen (Letty's home town) The next meeting is not actually in Hull, it is over the river because Greg lives there.It could have been Cleckheaton, but there isn't enough room and accomodation is relatively scarce.

Secondly,Hull is just a rough geographical location for information purposes only. I'm glad some people have COMMITMENTS, because there are many of us who also have commitments, including trying to make this gathering as successful and magnifient as the last three.

For the last few years, check the threads, there haven't been cries and moans from people in europe who couldn't come, just apolgies or best wishes.

Roger, Wilfried, how right you are.

What gets me is the self important-"I can't be there" attitude, as if some of you are more worth than others.Like I've said before, you didn't go to the others,never bothered to organise one, why make a fuss about this one?Everyone is welcome, there's no barrier to anyone, there hasn't been before, there won't be now.

It's up to you.

It's the Mayday bank holiday weekend. It's near Hull, but on the other side of the river.Airports are;Leeds/Bradford, Humberside, or Manchester.(Cheap fares from Jet2, easyjet and Ryanair) Ferries are from Rotterdam or Zeebrugge to Hull, and Newcastle from Imunden (but with a long drive or rail journey) You could land at Harwich and travel north.Railways to Scunthorpe, Doncaster, Hull, Selby,Goole. Motorways. M18/M180 and M62.Accomodation is being looked into and will be posted in due course. Camping facilities, food and drinks, eating out etc are being arranged and explored.

If you can't, won't, refuse, or unable to come,for what ever reason, then wish everyone a good time, send your best wishes and enjoy what you are doing instead.

So who's on the possibles list?
