I would be up for an informal meet too
I would prefer somewhere around Huntingdon with the hope that we could attract members from Beds/Herts/Lincs/Norfolk/Suffolk as well as Cambs and even further. The road links are good with the A1/M1 link and the improved A14 - just watch for the speed cameras on the A14 Or maybe just up the road to Peterborough? Again good transport links.. |

I'm on the border of Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambs and Huntingdon is 45-50 miles each way which takes a fair bit of time and fuel to get to. People from most parts of Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex (and south Cambs like Haverhill area) will also find it quite a trek so a Huntingdon venue will tend to attract people from Beds, North/West Cambs and maybe South LIncs. I can see what you're doing, trying to get as large a catchment area as possible but by keeping it more local there's more of a chance people will actually think about coming. Everyone has different opinions though and their own limits as to how far they'll travel on a regular basis for a meet so before you just take my word for it, see who else responds, where they are and what they view as reasonable for a meet.

St Ives/Huntingdon is kind of Central for Cambs as a whole and as I say has good road links for those wishing to travel as a newbie I don't yet have a feel for where voc members in cambs are? But for example a Cambs/Suffolk meet at Newmarket is easier for me and may get some Essex VOC members? So lets start with who is interested in an informal Cambs(ish) meet up and where are you? Then we can decide on a venue |

Suffolk here, could be tempted for a drive out if this ever gets off the ground.
