Seeing the Maluch World Meeting in Slovakia slip through our fingers this year, some talk of arranging a National meet was mentioned, but that thread is disappearing... so I thought I'd resurrect it here!
Hazey-n-Marc threw the first option into play with this: "A friend of mine has just got a hotel in Clare in Suffolk. They cater for ramblers quite a bit, so there are cheap basic rooms. I was going to see about what she would think of a (is there a word for a group of 126's?) buzz of 126's turning up for a couple of days. It is within 2 hours for a few of us, I know of at least three other members in that radius."
That seems like a good suggestion to start with, so if folk agree, Marc, can you see what the owner would think of this??
Things I'd like for a National Meet:
I'd personally like to have somewhere where there is a place to stay for those that want a comfy bed, but also camping available (my own preference).
Ideally a bar nearby that stays open LATE.
I think the facilities should be flexible enough to take a handful but to grow to take quite a few more (seeing how the MWM grew, you never know!).
And I would suggest somewhere round about the middle of the country, or the middle of where us in club126uk are located (has anyone worked that out on a map?? I think there are facilities on these forums for adding a map with location pin points for each member...?)
As for the date, I'd prefer July time in summer hols for those of us who've reproduced to bring the small people, and warm enough to camp comfortably.
Anyway, let's discuss!
