Croxteth is ideal

I have a venue ticking all the boxes but too far south for you all. Change the date if the venue can't do that weekend.

I fully appreciate how much effort is required to pull this event together but what gets me is how it is never thought of as soon as the current one is planned and at least agree a date/ venue. There are a handful of people out there willing to help but if their not asked then they can't.

Hope someone comes up with something decent in the right place for everyone.

i think finding a place, no matter where it is in the Uk as long as it is in the UK. if you make it so strict and limiting the places where you can go so much. its going to be very hard to get people to go, due to the short/little notice.

 

surely if people had more warning where it was talking place, people could better plan to get to the event regardless of where it is north or south. i think this is the more limiting factor os people not be able to make it.

 

i think we really need to have a look at the lack of planning/warning/notice, we the climbers are given. There are lots of very very beautiful places and trees, that can be used. what about using some of the older sites that were used years ago, we know they worked. Example: Newport, Caple Manor, Myerscough ect etc and we can always change the trees around abit, not a isssue....

if people have nothing helpful or positive to suggest/post then dont bother, as it takes enough thankless work to organise these events as it is. untill people are in a position to be aware of all the facts dont make assumptions about things they know little of.

What about Kelburn or Auchencruive? they were great venues. Too far north right?

[Craig Johnson]

Hi,

 

Great venues, but yeah, I am afraid they are too far North this time. But thanks for taking the trouble to post something positive, it's appreciated.
