It seems to me that there are few people with the time, dedication and spare petrol money to make a 100 mile round trip to a meeting. I certainly don't for example. So if there is a meeting 50 miles away this weekend then I am very unlikely to go but if there is another meeting next weekend just down the road then I am more likely to go.
In other words, because of the geographic spread, IMHO meetings held during the same month but far apart are not in competition with each other since few people are likely to travel to far to them anyway.
I would like to have meetings in the Norwich area - including Syleham which is not so far away - at least every three months and, for the reasons above, I don't think that that would detract from other meetings held the same month (but on a different date of course) elsewhere in the region.
Syleham is booked as a venue every 3 months. We were trying to have a Sunday meeting every month but regular venues and hosts are a little on the ground. I would like to see a meeting in Norwich at least as frequently as Syleham.
