I would like to see MM09 being held in school holidays, I know prices will increase but as Taz has said its 12 months away so easy to budget for.......
As for location well thats allways going to be a bone of contention
I thought the idea was to "rome" around the UK with the MM, bringing it close to everyone in time, to make the travel a bit fairer to those in the outer regions
06 was Midlands
07 was Norfolk
08 was North East,
... |
05 was derbyshire, don't forget teh original MM |

We have had no problems with this site...we had a good pitch (compared to some).and there was loads of stuff for the kids to do and with Filey Bridlington and Scarborough all within 10 miles it was ideal........The social side did suffer a little from the members in statics who had to drive home at night or face a very long drunken walk.....and obviously we would have preferred to have been in school holidays but it was as cheap as chips......next year Must be within school holidays or it will only be a fri-sun meet for us......but another Haven site somewhere around the country would be ideal if we could get a good price

This place has been mentioned several times over the years, we really need to look at it, last time, I think it was to share a meet with other YD clubs, so, maybe time for a YELLOW DIAMOND CLUB meet, that is every make, every one, even Simon |

That sounds like quite a good venue - a bit far south for us but nothing that can't be managed with good planning and enough time to save. |

Somewhere that the showers are at least warm please
Another plus point would be that the shower water didn't run into the toilet cubicles too. It made life difficult at times
All the best

Memo to self...... Do not put shower key in bottom of bags in back of the paj,when packing up the van before taking it back for a deposit refund!!!!
(It cost me a delay in packing caravan up by half an hour searching for it..... (and an irate Stoney for ten mins!!!))
