South west regional qualifier for BBP at Stoke Park

South west regional qualifier for BBP at Stoke Park BUCKINGHAMSHIRE!

Just had this pop up on FB.
The south west REGIONAL qualifier? Are you kidding me?
This means it's a 480 mile round trip for a regional qualifier! The only way this is south west is it's west of London and south of the Watford gap.
I can totally understand why the Scottish forum members are getting frustrated as are we in the south west with nothing closer that a 400 mile round trip.

Just had a look, it says Stoke Park is the Midlands Regional venue and Saunton North Devon for the South West.

There is also a scottish final and the north west and north east finals too, so a totally pointless rant if ever there was.

I see, not looked at all the venues and see there are loads. In which case, what was the point of the OP?
