That depends on where you are travelling from!

By what right do you presume to speak for those of us living in the northern 
reaches of the realm, and for whom a venue such as Scunthorpe would be 
eminently suitable?

IIRC, when you held your first meeting in Boston -- in the extreme south of 
the region -- disappointment was expressed that more of us didn't travel from 
the north, to attend.  So why do you now baulk at travelling north, to join 
us on our turf?  Sorry to have to say this, but if you want a Lincolnshire 
LUG, actively supported by members from all over the county, then, given the 
area involved, you need to be prepared to travel a bit.

BTW, I wasn't present at the Boston meeting, not because I thought it too far 
to travel from Grimsby, but because I had another commitment for that day, 
which I was unable to defer.

Regards,
Keith.
