Heck, our counterparts across the pond can't even seem to be able to arrange a decent sized regional meet anywhere in the UK. What gives with that? Seems like anything over 50 miles is a long drive!

There would also be a huge cost factor in terms of getting members and vendors to commit to making it happen. Not to mention the time involved with cross-Atlantic travel.

These are the same issues I've always encountered when I've considered hosting a meet in Cayman (which I've tried to do a couple of times). It wouldn't make sense unless people were coming for at least 4-5 days, so they can see the place, relax on the beaches, etc.

In the case of London, I'd think a week would be perfect, but good luck in: 1) getting enough people interested, and 2) doing it at a time when it works with their schedules.
