After APChris's enthusiastic response, I feel a bit bad about saying this, but that youth hostel would be 4+ hours driving or over 5 hours on a train each way for me (think my definition of central might be a bit different to Tal's

)

I don't mind travelling that distance if it's going to be worth it, but probably wouldn't go for eg just an evening meal! Anyone had any thoughts on what we could do? I presume we could work in a photo shoot somewhere along the way

.

So far, everyone seems to be midlands or north, so I guess we wouldn't want to come too far south, but maybe south-/mid-midlands? not that I have any helpful suggestions on venue
