Wikipedia entry on the centre points of GB, UK, etc.

So, Whalley, Lancashire for a meet? Maybe not :)

Sheffield is central and has a good rail connection to Edinburgh as I discovered when visiting for Joy of Six, so presumably possible to get to from other places too! Until then I'd come to believe it impossible to get a train to or from Edinburgh to anywhere that hosted a wargames show at the weekend!

Whalley, my family originates from there, and you think Denham gets misspelled/mispronounced!

For the middle of everywhere for GB and N.Ireland and all the other off shore bits the closest point of land is Morecambe

......OK let's not choose there
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

If you want really large scale, then considering the universe as a whole, the centre would surely be somewhere in Yorkshire.

Lancaster has a very strong 10mm community led by DanJ, and I've got great friends there, so I'm okay with that!
Leon, hire an aircraft carrier!!

Plenty of room in the big barn to set up loads of tables.  :D

Getting here, and parking, might be a bit of a problem.  ;D ;D

No....Just bring wellies and rubber gloves, so you can help with the mucking out.
We'll supply the wheelbarrows and the giant pooper scoopers.  ;)

You've got that lovely big field opposite - just have to pick a time of year when it hasn't been raining too much!  :-\

Oh, yeah...  #-o

If at Techno's house - will fly over - will bring absolutely killer white lightning ( But that will involve bribing TSA so need heads up on this.)

Thanks Techno!  :)

Considering fsn in last year's holiday message group projected me to reach Major General by end of 2016 - making colonel is falling way short of my prophizied performance - sorry fsn  :D

Of course still have three months  :P
