A very sensible option Grumps  :tu: Reckon you can find a private campsite there, or have you got something else in mind Baz?

BTW, this looks like it could be the biggest UK MTO nutter convention for a while at this rate  :o

If i can find a private campsite that'll allow fires etc all the better, if that fails i know most farmers are open to bribery ;)

I'd be interested in a meetup, whenever, wherever really.
So long as it'll finalized a fair while before so plans can be made.

Leicester ought to be doable for the greatest number of people and hopefully it will be a big turn out.
But perhaps the meet should either be right down on the south east coast to try and entice our continental neighbors over, or right up on the border to give Gareth a bit of an easier journey for a change.
Pictures of most of my work can be found on my Facebook Page.
Also have a look at my Shapeways Shop and SW Torch Shop for 3D printed items.
