I'd be interested to know why people are put off going to meetings that are far away from home.
Is it the cost, the time, the need to drive or some combination?
For myself, all of these factors combined: you have to be pretty keen to drive 100+ miles round trip.
Ok, I have a quick question. Am I an American because I don't see why 100+ miles is such a big deal to drive.... It doesn't really take up that much time, isn't that tiring or anything. Is it just people can't afford the petrol or think their cars won't cope? Or is this a general apathy to being bothered to go and it is an extra hurdle?
I suppose I would understand more if it was 100 miles every weekend as that would get a bit heavy on the petrol costs. Once a month (well less actually as at least every few meetings should be quite local) shouldn't be a problem?
