So by having a meets divided into say 4 area's we would surely get bigger & hopefully better meets attended by those that at present,have to far to travel to come to the ones we have recently had..
I must say though i have been one of the lucky ones,as the meets where ever they have been are within an hour driving for me,others are not so lucky...
I also think that sundays are a more exceptable day for the meets has Lee works most saturdays,so this often counts me out

Dividing into 4 area's will just end up with Kent, East & West Sussex and Surrey, which is back where it all started.
I have produced a map with a 'Meet Zone' of 50 mile diameter, based on a central location.
This central location takes into account :
1. Most westerly lat/long (approx : Havant/Chichester)
2. Most easterly lat/long (approx : Ramsgate/Margate/Broadstairs)
3. Most northerly lat/long (approx : Thames Esturary)
4. Most southerly lat/long (Beachy Head)
The centre point of the 'Zone' ends up being Groombridge (Kent).
This meet zone should hopefully pull in the max number of people and the least amount of travel for the majority.
We will have event outside this 'Zone' but the monthly's should remain within it.
I would of posted it this evening, but forgot to email it home from work.
