You’re never going to get somewhere to suit all of us if it’s just a day meet up
Bicester is too far from up here ( 3.5hrs each way ) just to drive on motorways and stand about chatting for few hours just to drive back again .
Spa in Belgium is closer for me![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Clive, I’d be interested in Ireland too

Re: The DDK Nationals
Anything north of Leeds is abroad to me.
Are you the spokesman for the North then .? Not a very positive leader.
Didn't a load of Southerners attend a few DDK events up country years ago.... wonder if there was uproar back then. How is it being selfish if Someone from Leeds, Swansea, Norfolk, Brighton all can get to a central point in under 3 hours.?

Re: The DDK Nationals
What about somewhere like Great Northern Classics, which isn’t really Northern but may feel that way to some southerners….
Near Derby, so maybe more acceptable?

Re: The DDK Nationals
What would work really well, is to attend a sprint at Curborough where there is ample parking, entry is £zero or next to zero, there is interesting stuff going on and we'd be free to stand about in a field next to the sprint course having a barbecue or whatever because the parking is not segregated from the course. Access is excellent, 2 mins off the A38.
The VSCC events are particularly good with a range of interesting old vehicles. 5th May. I think entry to this as a spectator might be £6.

Re: The DDK Nationals
Curborough sounds a good shout, and a VSCC event could provide good entertainment. I haven’t put a slide rule over the relative distances between north and south contingents though. No doubt anyone feeling hard done by will voice their feelings.
Re: The DDK Nationals
4 hours... from the South Coast... might be able to make a weekend of it with the family as have relatives in the area.

Re: The DDK Nationals
As I see it there are two approaches which make most sense - split North/South, or a single Midlands event. North/South split would get closer to most people. Midlands is usually somewhere between Oxford and Warwick (Greatworth / Caffeine & Machine / Bicester / Boxengasse) - I've been to events in that vicinity a good number of times now and I'm happy to go again. But something North of Birmingham instead of South (e.g. right on my doorstep at Curborough
) would bring a Midlands event within range of more of the Northern members.
