I don't mind travelling , and taking Schwuk's idea a bit further, we've had 
an offer of both Carlisle and Whitehaven.  Could we alternate between both?

>2) Would you prefer formal or informal meetings?

I like both.  A more formal would be useful for a presentation if we all 
know that someone who's good with a particular aspect and doesn't mind 
delivering a carefully crafted speech (without powerpoint, *nix tools 
allowed though).  I could be fun.

On the other hand, I also enjoyed the gathering at Duke21 in Whitehaven, 
and it was certainly nice to meet Ian (without needing a CO2 bottle to damp 
things down a little ;->  ), and would certainly enjoy a social every so 
often pretty much anywhere in Cumbria - the location doesn't matter much, 
just the people who can attend, so it would be an opportunity to meet those 
who can;t get to the extremes .
