Would be interesting, but being on a Games committee it's an incredible amout of work to organise these sort of things.

best i could do is Dumfries, Moffat in west or Galashiels, Jedburgh, Selkirk in East. They'd all be just under 3hrs (approx 120 miles) away from us (we're near Thirsk in North Yorkshire) so doable in a day based on classes starting 10 or 11ish. Getting across to the west is the pain in the bum for us as the A66 is a bar steward of a road, the day its completely dual carriagewayed will be a blessing to all.
Newark is the furtherest South we go at present and thats about two and half hours but all lovely A1 all the way especially now its had its roundabouts seen to.  ;D
So there you go.

o dear the lovely 3 lane M74 is the best and quitest bit of road  i always thought the A66 was brilliant until you come to the roundabouts at the M6
can we not persuade you to venture north a bit more :wave: :wave:

Just stay away from the M8 or A/M80  - at least until the "improvements" are finished.  Sometimes used to take me nearly 3 hours to get to work (44 miles) from here.  I shudder to remember ... ::)

I think it sounds like a GREAT IDEA  ;D ;D ;D

Perhaps it's something that could be jointly run/arranged by CSSA/SPKA and the southern RBST group ? Maybe's Palacerigg or Lanark market area would be a couple of potential showgrounds (I've got to go and talk to the lovely people at Lanark about other things anyway's, so would be as well to add it to the list lol!)

Rosemary, that IS a yes  ;)

Don't watch with interest - throw your hat in the ring! What the Welsh can do, surely we can do?
