I'll give you 3 reasons.
A) Money (halls in the central part of the Netherlands (called "Randstad") are more expensive.
Even if 15 people come we can pay this hall and i only have to charge 20 euros for the whole weekend or 10 euro for a day. Other LEMs are way more expensive.
B) Distance is relative. I drive to LEMs in Germany (400km single way), UK (700km single way). I myself have to drive 165km to get there, and i don't complain...
C) Fred, the caretaker. No other LEM has such a dedicated caretaker so we like to stick to the current location.
I cannot explain this. If you come to the LEM you'll know and never ask a question like you did again ;-)
So stop whining, get in your car and next time be there ;-)
Or not, and set up your own LEM, and i'll visit your LEM.
But lot's of people say they are organising one and then you never hear from them, the last 10 years only Stoney3K organised a LEM (once in Eindhoven), Maurice ( 2 or 3 times (maybe more) Ilpendam) and Bart (once in Haarlem) and myself 7 times (Marrum, since 2011). So i keep doing what i do and gladly visit a LEM you organise just around my corner (Amersfoort).
