There's me thinking Aylesbury was Home Counties.

Sounds like a fantastic plan I.e meet up somewhere for some games or a bit of mini show

I'm sure I'll be able to convince our crew (staffs and district) to pitch up and put a game on

Milton Keynes is hardly central!

Birmingham, around the NEC, is good. Road, rail and for those travelling from afar, air connections. One of the reasons the NEC was built where it was. I've been to conferences at the National Motorcycle Museum over the road from the NEC in the past, good venue. No idea what it costs though!

Luddite

A 'Silvermoot' sounds like a great idea.

Sounds more West Country to me.

I would like to point out that Milton Keynes is very central....for me. Good road and rail links ;)

I like the suggestion of Aylesbury, hire the upstairs room in the Kings Head, good beer and walking distance :d :D

Besides anywhere where the two-legged population outnumbers the 4-legged will be another planet for Techno!

Course the centre of the country is somewhere near Warrington, and I can get a big space for free within 20 miles.

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!!

If it was at Technos house would we need to supply our own doilies and white lightning ?

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
