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?

It's because you haven't got motorbikes. If you did you'd clamour to have the meetings in Scotland somewhere, and ever weekend. :-)
