Right guys! First point on the list of things to do as rep is sort out a meeting.
I've an approximate idea of where most of the members are located... and its a right mess.
I understand a monthly meeting might be impossible given the spread of people, so what I propose is maybe something quarterly where we all get together, a bit of go-karting or paintball or something, and then we just hit some local meets as and when we can. Im working on finding a few.

The centre of all listed members in the NE&Y area is Castleford, but its a right trek for some so I think a monthly meet wont be too successful.
West Yorkshire -
Us lot seem to be Leeds/Bradford, with a few the other side of Huddersfield and Barnsley. How about a meet somewhere along the M62 that divides us? Or possibly make the trip out once in a blue moon to the Trafford meets in Manchester?
The regular North West meet is Mascrat Manor, its about 50 miles west of Wakefield. I'm happy to make the trip if anyone else is interested.
North Yorkshire -
You guys are all over the place. I've had words with Ste about something more local to you lot, will keep you updated.
Lincolnshire -
I'm usually around at weekends in the Scunny direction, there are some of you Doncaster way (Bawtry or A1 meet?) but I gather a fair few are popping up in Lincoln? I'll have a word with cleanhands about a Lincoln-ish meet.
The regular East Midlands meet is The Hutt in Ravenshead, first Sunday each month, about 50 miles south of Gainsborough. Again, if im back home, I would make the trip if any of you guys are interested.
SQUIRES CAFE
Having never been, I am still interested in going to the Squires meet. Its already fairly well established, so if you fancy it, ill make a thread if any of us are going.
So - please, comment on how far you are willing to go for a bit of SXOC banter, what you'd like to do etc.
If theres no love for a regular meet, then I may just try to collaborate with some of the other regional meets for those of you who are closer to the borders.
