Hey, I'd be happy to travel to either Wigton or Whitehaven

crmlou> (Oh, and Ian Linwood

Barsteward!
I'm NOT FROM ANNAN (i don't have furry feet and an IQ in single
figures, as is the norm for the Annan area) . Further North if you please, a
true Scot!!

Sent a Poster to the Border TV "On the Wall" item (which advertised,
for free, local events in the area). There must be other
opportunities like this in other areas.

crmlou> That aside, I'm all in favour on some other meeting locations - many thanks

crmlou> drive! :)

>From what I hear (and see from the web site) this looks like a
terrific venue. It's unfortunate that it's so damn far away for the
likes of me (but the journey might be fun in the Mini Cooper!).
Now if we got get *special rates* for B&B....  :-)
