Depends on how it's going to be arranged. If it's say me arranging a 
meet once a month in different locations which I know little about I 
think it will soon get too much to keep going. If someone local was to 
pick and arrange the location in advance then that would be better.

Also once a month in differnt locations would probably stop regulars 
coming as it would be too much, so we would have to rely on locals 
boosting the numbers.

Or as an alternative bi-monthly. I dont think more often if the location 
keeps changing.

Well this is it really. The turnout has always been too variable and I 
think it's the distance and lack of decent transport connections.

I think it's time we change tack as this isnt working.

Of course if anyone has any strong feelings against this change then 
speak up please.

Kev,
