I'd also suggest later on in the year (next year) as the venue will be cheaper as it'd be out of season
Someone needs to get a map of the UK out & do a bit of measuring imho. I reckon somewhere in between the middle of Somerset & southern Scotland would pull in the most puntersThat cuts out the extremes & kind of centres things

And near to one of the 3 major roads A1, M1 or M6, Sheffield or Darby perhapsI'd also suggest later on in the year (next year) as the venue will be cheaper as it'd be out of season

trade is good for a bit of revenue and AOS could have their own stand for bits and pieces for sale , my engine club has organised a bring and buy sale where people can both exhibit thier engines and also sell a bit of clutter as well
and we advertise it in a magazine

Aye, maybe, it probably wouldn't work out too far north of Scalford when it boils down to it...And near to one of the 3 major roads A1, M1 or M6, Sheffield or Darby perhaps
I like this idea though it's naff all to do with me... Any AoS member that wants to shift some kit could advertise at a certain price & maybe have a minimum price for the kit & a certain percentage of the sale price goes to supporting the price of hiring the venue itself? Just an idea

Huddersfield is nice and central and easy to reach from the M1 and M62 and M6. I would be glad to organize somewhere to hold it. 30 rooms should be enough would you say? Suggest October or early November after Whittlebury. Me and MG with a stand next to each other would be cool...
Anyway just my 2 penneth worth as we say in Yorkshire.
