**Rootschat Meet No 3 - 11th March 2006, Manchester

[Ticker]

It would be great to get a third meet organised.  I have been to the first two and had a great time at both.

I think the main (national) meet needs to be relatively central so as many people as possible can have a chance of making it, but its also a good idea to arrange County meets maybe tying in with the various regional Family History Fairs.

Any more suggestions for a venue for No. 3?

Well Ticker

Here's a map of England, and I reckon the centre is about Leicestershire/Nottinghamshire - what does everyone else think ??

Fine by me Mobo!   I'm pretty flexible really but have to say I don't much fancy London.

As well as centrality we should think of the transport links too.

Mainline trains and airports help those travelling from further afield.

Cheers,

I think the County Meets, as well as the National is a great idea.  Good thinking!!!

Mobo - the trains for me to Leicester are more direct and cheaper than Nottingham!!!!!

  Could we do one of those voting/poll thingy's to see where most people, who would attend, come from. Then go to the middle of that...
       
         Closest large town / city.

Hurumph!

I see Scotland has been cut off altogether on that map!

There have been other meets - Cumberland I believe was recent.  It is a really good idea.  Advertise them in the Common Room and a mod will sticky them at the top for a while once the location is fixed.

We can add a poll anytime.  Someone suggest the list choice and I'll merge it.

 How about one of those mileage charts from a map book.
             That has a list of main towns. L.
