Ted you organise one - then we can all come along. Bet you get a few more if your picking up the bar bill.
I done a few (i believe the first mini meets ) many years ago - around Yorkshire moors and Dales different pub each time like a mini tour of Yorkshire  s - a sort of welcome to the (D)ales tour, but then everyone else started doing them so i stopped. Things seem to me that they have now become much more than a casual meet up a few  s etc - they now have to be off road weekends, maybe involve bands or another event of sorts - more of a rally which is fine - but its not what the original mini meet was and for me too much hassle to organise, Hats off to those that do - but there is room for the simpler version as well.
If it was just easy pub / camping meets like I started years ago - more of a social get together a drink a laugh and maybe a tiny ride out to the chippy - well i would sort another.
The Scottish do's are like that and in a way are far more relaxed. The first Scottish do up in the far north was one of the best i ever went to - very late night a fair bit to drink, and excellent company - I am waiting for the next Scottish do to pop up. Well worth a visit.
Jake.
