Ah but it's quality not quantity that counts
Maybe you would like to organise a get-together where you are?
As Tim said, there have been gatherings in Leeds and Newcastle in the past, and I hope there will be again. I am sure you would find a few people willing to come visit
In addition, you are very welcome at any of our local North-West meets. According to my routeplanner thingy you're only an hour and a half away from us in Cheshire. Come along to our gathering on 31st January if you wish, to watch 'Who Killed The Electric Car' and do a bit of socialising - see
