Dan - sounds like a good place to hold a meeting
It might end up on next years list as we're starting to wind down after a busy year , plus I've got to sort the shop side out (stock wise and I.T. as well ).
When planning a meeting try to go for a circular route around 15miles with a pub stop half way. It keeps the logisitcs nice and simple , and avoid hills as much as you can
Having some new venues will be a good start to next years events.
