Thread: UK get together!

A venue has to be chosen and I looked at Castle Donington as very much in the middle of the country and very close to a small airport. It is less than two and a half hours by car from London. No hall or location has been booked there as yet but August may well suit many people. I expect the next stage will be to find some meeting alternatives, get some dates together and put up a poll for finalising. The more the merrier.

I might be able to make it. Sorry I can't be more definite but my new job takes me all over the UK at a moments notice, and I never know more than a week in advance where I'll be.

I'll keep an eye on the thread though, and if I'm close enough when the meet happens I'll try and make it - no promises though!

I can't bring many nice razors etc though, I sold most of my exotica a while back along with my hones - so I just have a small set of razors and a paddle strop now!

It'd be nice if it was at a time/place that Alex and Bruno could make it too.

I still think Leamington Spa would be a good choice but if not I'd rather go for Birmingham than Leicester. It's got better air, rail and road links.

But I'll declare that I'm partisan since I live in Cornwall.

Regretfully I must agree with you here Birmingham has MUCH better transport links. I say regretfully because Birmingham New Street is a b*****- I once got stuck just outside the station in a train whose doors would not open for 45 minutes.
