would this event just been a 'show' or did you have some offroading in mind?

i know this is a long shot, but i was reading total offroad the other day, and they had a feature in there about a place near wrexham called motor safari. ive just been looking at the webiste. ithe site looks well catered, nothing to damaging for the 'soft' roaders out there :wink:

tape measure is obviously faulty :

I do see the point Meriden may be central to England but not the UK, but having said that its closer to me so maybe i will side with jace :wink:

Sorry but we are international, so there fore half way would be around Pakistan or Iraq both would be ideal for showing off the Nissans : or maybe the Maldives would be nicer.
Maybe where the 1,000 person lives ?

I like your suggestions, a war zone, a country facng a little political instability, or an island (difficult for towing the caravan to) the 1000th members home town sounds good, we all descend on them and make them feel realy welcome, or they think we are all weirdos and call the police!
lets hope they dont live to far from dudley west midlands. : :

in fact when the counter gets to 999 i may join again! :wink:

i like the idea but we have great difficulty getting members to attend 1 annual rally each year

hands up those who have been to more than two rallies -welldone-

would it not be a better idea to celebrate the running of the exsisting club and it going from strengh to strengh at the next annual rally

as if my calculations are correct next yeras it's the 5th year and if i am wrong who cares lets just get a megga get together.
