For the second meet-up I had to travel for 2 hours. This involved two changes and yet I went. Because I wanted, because I felt the distance was worth it.
This time, the arrangers of this meet-up have chosen a place that is:
-Central in the UK
-Offers most opportunity for enjoyment
-Easy access from MOST of the Major cities.(Bus,Train,Car)
All the other suggestions have meant isolating too many people for that paticular member's selfish needs. This isn't fair. We haven't chosen a place that is too specific in it's location in the UK (Brighton?!) and this should be appreciated. We have TRIED to be fair.
(P.S: Newcastle is a direct to Birmingham.)
