I thought the meet was excellent this year and I definitely think if it ain't broke, etc, etc.....
I like the length of the meet as it is, a trip there on friday means I only have to squander one day of my already heavily diminished annual leave.
The one thing you mentioned is moving the BBQ, it would stop your neighbours from doing their nut. I'd also mean something else....
A BIGGER CANNON!
Seriously though, whatever you organise it'll be definately worth the trip, and barring disaster, definately count me in for next year!
