We need a convention!

BlueBell they have to ask Elegran how to do it she will send instructions in answer to a private message. We do have members where you say but they haven't added themselves.

Click on Elegrans link anyone who'd like a look.

Having said that ...too many times!

We probably wouldn't be allowed into the US if Trump ever reads the posts on this forum. Having said that most of us use Big Words and Complex Sentences so he probably wouldn't understand us.

Having said that Paris is lovely in the Spring....???

I didn't know about the map surely we have European members and US don't we?

If it's a choice between Birmingham or a cold and probably muddy field in Lancashire, then count me in for Brum.

What a fabulous idea !!

Grand Central at Birmingham New Street would appeal to me!!
B-I-G John Lewis amongst other eatery/drinkeries!!

Tanith If anyone wants to add their marker, they can PM me and I'll tell them how.

Sounds like a plan but will take a lot of organising.

Elegran I'd forgotten about your map maybe you should put a new thread up explaining it as there must be new members who'd like to add themselves but don't realise it exists.

Yes, Katek and they were all over Britain, plus one in southern Portugal and one in Oz. No-one has asked to add themselves for a long time.

Much easier to have a virtual convention Katek we could all chip in with lunch items.

Weren't you mapping the location of GNetters at some point Elegran?

According to Wikipedia, the dead centre of mainland Britain is in a field in Whalley, Lancs. I wonder if we could put a marquee up there?

We could also draw up a map with a dot for every gransnetter and find out the centre of the dots. Which may also very well end up in a field in Lancashire, too.

Crossed posts, Phoenix

We had one of these in Edinburgh a few years ago - it took a fair bit of organising and no-one ever volunteered to do another!

I'd say that in practical terms the centre of the country would be where it is easiest for most peiople to reach by public transprt, which is not necessarily the geographical centre. Time to get out the railway maps and the bus timetables?

Probably not the exact centre, but Birmingham is easily accessible by train from most places
