USA-UKLEM

An outstanding idea; I hope it goes ahead for all.
I have wanted to reciprocate the trip too at some point; just need a "good year" to get a jar of spare cash to enjoy.

I would have thought that Surfleet would be better as it is closer to the five London airports which are likely to give a far better choice when it comes to flights... Plus, our US friends cannot visit a UK LEM without sampling the delights of Cod Father, Surfleets very own road kill cafe :-) Plenty of room in the outside fields for outdoor laserscopery as well... Between Dan/Andy T, Rob, Nige and myself we have four scopes... Phhhwwoooaaaarrrrr !!!!!!

If everyone wants Surfleet that's fine by me. I'm not looking to take anything away from Jim's LEM. Just thought it might be easier and it might be nice to ring the changes for the one offs.

For comparison, its around 2 hours to Stansted airport and 3 hours to Gatwick according to Google Maps directions, which is the more likely US destination: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=surf...ed=0CDYQ8gEwAA


Also, whilst I can't comment on Wakefield, no lack of laserscope space in Sheff (green cross is the building but the whole of the fields are potentially available):



The rest of its a school so out of use at weekends.

Al, are you on drugs?

^^ If not, should you be?

Anyone is VERY welcome to the UKLEM @ Surfleet and the ShowLEM near Jem, and to even consider the US lads, and lasses??? to come over for any of our UK events will be just outstanding!!

I just cannot wait for this to happen

Al, are you on drugs?

Just wine gums.

Should I be?

Well.. so far the European (and Dnar) response has been great. I'm already getting excited at the prospects. I may need to provide a link in The Lounge though so it gets more views. I appreciate everyones input thus far, (and the pictures of a potential site!) Very cool!

Thanks!

Should I be?

Yes.
Strong ones.

What's the date on this?

For the Uk members.... Do they frown on park bench sleeping? I'm too cheap to stay in hotels

Sleeping in the venue is another good thing about Surfleet.. it's totally free, and actually not all *that* bad with some planning. And an airbed. And some earplugs

I live within reasonable driving distance of all the London airports and would gladly assist any overseas visitors with transportation to a UKLEM, it would be superb if they made the trip!
