Not a bad idea, similar in format to the Irish meets. Ok so long as you go nowhere near Nottinghamshire... LOL

I too appear to have spotted this late. Might be up for anything similar, or around Brum. T'other half has family not far from Merry Hell so could combine the two

After the last gathering when I was the only one that showed up until well after the meeting time and just about to leave, I am not going to make any commitment.

As I have said earlier, there needs to be a small group of us to organise things and not rely on all and sundry to decide on a meeting place and then a day or so late change it.

I am prepared to put in the effort with a few others to do the organising, but the 'others' will have to organise themselves and then call me

hi gertcher, my mom is a caretaker at a school near Cannock so during the six weeks holiday when there are no kids about if I ask her if I could use the field (two football pitches,cricket pitch and athletics track) maybe we could sort a date for ameet out if she oks it. Plenty of room with noone to moan and if theres any kids they can just run themselves tired lol . I will see what she says when I see her next week and if its ok start a new thread and see what interest we get ? Regards James .
