If, just if we were to try and meet regularly to bring equipment out and do “Stuff” how often would be acceptable? Too often becomes a chore and not often enough can be unsatisfactory. Would once a month or every 6 weeks be about right? I have a couple of places in mind we might be able to book on a regular basis, one is in Werrington, the other is in Stibbington at the NVR.
The Werrington venue has the advantage of being very close to a pub. Thoughts Guys and Girls.
