What about a The National War Arboretum, plenty of campsites around it, how about forgetting the commercial for once , pay some due respect to the fallen instead . http://www.thenma.org.uk/

it's about 20 miles from Stafford, free to get in, loads to see, we could make a club donation instead of giving money to Stafford.

What I thought, meet up on the Friday afternoon somewhere close to the Alrewas where the Arboretums is, Saturday visit the Arboretum as a group, any members wishing to go to Stafford instead could ,Staffs not that far away, then all meet back up on the Sat night at the Camp, The fact that it's not far from Staff still makes it a some what central meet.

Great comments- so taken that on board we have a venue change, dates stand but we will be going here: http://www.haberdashersarms.com/index.html

Jonathans ideas are great, that would work as well, those for the show its easy as well.

More details to follow over the coming weeks

Looks a bit more promising although is likely to be a Saturday evening stop for me as I don't want to tow the bike up to do a ride out.
