Any ideas for places you'd like meets for 2011?
I'm liking the idea of a Cumbria meet when the weather picks up, make it a nice drive then a pub or something. No doubt do Llandudno again, still seems to be a favourite, but what ideas has everyone else got? Let us know and I'll see what we can do

I reckon the best one's were the most active ones such as Blackpool and Llandudno so maybe a couple more where its more than just a pub. A rolling road day chucked in there as a meet somewhere. Then there's PVS and Trax that take up two months of meets. So thats 5 months of meets taken up already.
As for the rest i'd say just go for ones dotted around the region according to how many people are in each area. Plus maybe another NWWM meet again and a track day somewhere such as Oulton or Anglesey depending on numbers.

LLandudno and Blackpool definitely.
Drive in the country sounds nice.
PVS and Trax may take up a first Sunday but we don't have dates yet so that may not be the case.

Good one Adam, Yorkshire turnouts seem to be doing well nowadays so that's definitely one to look into.
Didn't know about Iaz' pub but again potential there, after this months meet the joint meets do seem to get the interest up, need to try and work out spacing them out, obviously not everyone has the money to be going here, there and everywhere for meets.
I'd prefer to stick to the first Sunday for the meets that way everyone knows when it's gonna be (although I'm not 100% about the January meet atm, day after New Years Day might not be a great idea) so Rolling Road day wise I'd probably go for mid month Saturday morning if we do it, I've topped the thread from a bit back to see if we get anymore interest because it's somewhat lacking upto now.
I'm up for considering suggestions for alternative formats if anyone has any ideas in that area, I quite like the pub for a meal and banter format but turnouts this year kind of give an indication that other people maybe don't like it so much, so suggestions welcome on that one

Breakfast meet, I think I'm too much of a noob for that one 
I'm guessing the idea was early morning drive then end at a cafe for breakfast?

Cat and Fiddle could be done again, the road's been slightly spoiled by the average speed cameras but the pub was decent.
Evo triangle's a funny one ideally it would be tied in with Llandudno as then it's in summer too but it'd either mean an early start or changing the Llandudno format to make it a bit later. I'd be happy with an early start but last time I was looking at going myself before Llandudno but I'd have had to leave my house at half 9 and that would've just give me time for one lap which just didn't seem worth it especially when one of the roads is pretty boring, one is uphill and the 1.2 didn't really love that bit which meant loads of extra driving for 1 road. I reckon if we organised an early start, probably looking at meeting near the triangle at about 9-9.30 it should give us a couple of hours of playtime/photo opportunities around there before heading off to Llandudno for midday.
I'd be happy with that but let us know what you all think of it, no point organising that if none of you can be arsed getting out of bed
