Overland Social Gathering/Event
This thread is just to try and gauge support for an Overland social gathering.

A few local Yorkshire firms are wondering about arranging a get together at end of March 2012.

What we are wondering if we arrange a social weekend where we displayed some of our wares, provided some tea and coffee (NO we will not be supplying the beer), arranged a local campsite, marked out some suitable green lanes on a map, maybe orgainised a small nav scat, would people be interested?

There will be no dogs herding ducks, no greasy burger bars, no childrens fun fair, no off road course.

There will be time to sit and chat with a few suppliers in a more relaxed atmosphere then at a traditional show where it can be difficult to talk to people.

So would you be interested?



Brendan

Would it be a weekend meeting or a in-week social? I think it's an awesome idea to exchange suggestions and look to buy some kit Very Happy

The campsite that we are thinking of allows dogs as long as normal commonsense rules apply, which I am sure you support Ken.

Can not see any real problems at the proposed 'show site' either
