Steve , I agree .
As for a lot of members , I have to plan time off well ahead {and even this is no guarantee}.
I would raise a couple of points , in addition to those raised above by Steve D.
I for one intend to take other family members along and as such there now appear to be a number of ' what ifs ?' re Crewkerne .Should we not resolve these prior to committing our Dutch chums to attending what may turn out to be a less than satisfactory venue.Speaking as a Welsh chap , Crewkerne is far more convenient than Dent , or Derbyshire. However ,these venues worked and ,I have no doubt ,will work again and I for one would rather have to travel than have a sub standard annual rally.
This needs to be expedited . If the dates, at least, can agreed upon , that's one step forward , the venue can follow.However we cannot leave this for too long as the location will dictate the travell arrangements required by Sjak and chums .
Do we have any other possible venues?
With regard to the H&S issues , these are , I understand , binding .My knowledge on such matters is limited . Is anyone willing to adopt the mantle of H&S rep for the club as a position ?
Rob .
