I'm in Blackrod, Well up for this.
I've already posted in the mini meets thread for ideas for locations, I did suggest contacting the Anderton Centre at rivi as they maybe able to provide somewhere (and its close so I can walk the dogs and then sling them in the house!)
But to go a little further north is no problem - could be worth contacting the lancashire scout groups to see if we can use one of there sites - Waddecar in Bowland, Bispham hall, Bowley. Mowbreck near Wesham could be a winner and probably cheap too.
