Has there ever been an (unofficial) AFL meetup, rather than when folks get together at Billing or wherever ?

well, if anyone is in the swanley area then i'm game for a "noggin and natter" session (phrase robbed from the Riley Club)

Well, I was thinking, just possibly pondering somewhere like

I'd be up for it. Though if it was as far away as Wales it'd have to be a full weekend, with caravanning spaces, and on a weekend we're not already booked elsewhere .. ;)
It ain't local to me either, but it does look a cool place to drive.

's out of date. Pontardawe is now defunct, sadly, as it was an excellent site. Summat to do with the landowners getting paid more for doing sod-all to it than PORC were paying.
Llanerchindda or rather the operators there have a local reputation here for a cavalier attitude to private property and non-legal lanes. Various reports I've had of driving where they shouldn't, poor control of dogs and so on. I've also seen the results of heavy over-use of what turned out in the end not to be a byway, and not to have legal vehicle access - however, the damage is now done and will take decades in some cases to recover.
Mind, last I heard is that the bloke at Llanerchindda was moving abroad.
having said all that, I don't doubt that the management at Llanerchindda will plausibly distance themselves from actions of others, and indeed they say on the website that they don't do guiding themselves, OWTTE, but nonetheless, they've been promoting the area heavily and bear at least partial a moral responsibility, IMHO.
Spain ISTR. Was a short mention in one of the landie comics last month.
Don't you know not to meet up the people you talk to on the internet.
Particular strange bearded Land Rover folk (myself included)!
yeah!

I daresay quite a lot of the locals round here will wish him well. well away, possibly :-)
I can honestly say that there's only ever been one person I would NOT like to find myself meeting IRL... (and that's not to do with my own safety...)

further to this, I've been sowing the seeds with sister's BF who has enough space to make an off-road course, if he CBA to do it.
I have just the venue on the Wales / Herefordshire border to host it: 78 acre offroad site Camping facilities and hotel on site.....
Meet up on the Sayurday, camp / drink / swim in the pool on Sat pm and then drive offroad all day Sunday.... I guess ( without speaking to the hotel ): Offroad day £25 per vehicle Camping £5 per person per night Hotel £35 per person B&B
Email me if anyone is interested in getting the AFL meeting off the ground....
