Hall of Famer
I was looking at the prizes for the Royal Ascot meet and may be able to "acquire" a decent shield as well. I would dearly love this to be an annual event and was thinking of getting engraved
"GM Forum Spring Meet"
What does everyone think. Should I get it?.
My thinking is that this one has worked out pretty well in terms of numbers and location and I'm sure I could wrangle an even better deal next year. Should it stay in one location which is my preference so everyone knows where each year. If we have other regular meets we can give them other titles. My concern is that if we always switch locations it always makes it hard in terms of people getting there etc. At least with one fixed event per forum calender people can book in advance (getting cheap travellodge rates etc) and make arrangements well in advance to utilise friends and family in the vicinity
Also, as RA obviously precludes our friends north of the border and fromthe Midlands up, it allows them to organise their own event. If these forum meets are big enough to warrant a trophy/shield perhaps we can then publish a winners list on the GM pages at the end of the season.
Just my views before I went ahead and got the shield. Not looking to start a north/south divide thing or my event is better therefore.... just my ideas. Please be constructive not destructive.
