I've dealt with 'central' locations in National level surfcasting for decades Ben, central being Peterborough and Huntingdon. I'm used to putting the miles in, and at least the BFCC move around, which is a huge thumbs up from me
I completely get where you're coming from though, and a more even balance between the far north, bits in the middle, and far south is definitely needed. I work on the principle 'build it and they will come', let's see whether that philosophy works on sunday?
Another Scottish meet would be great, the more events the better as far as I'm concerned. Every extra comp brings yet another group of like minded people together, and that's the only way to grow the sport.
If there's time, I'm up for adding any events you want. However, it's not really up to me, but rather Mike M and the rest of the people running the show. I think Mike Marshall already has a 55g outfit in hand anyway, but you would need to confirm that with him. As long as we retain the core International events, so there is a pathway to the ICSF, I don't have any issues with throwing anything else. Those International events being 5#, T27, T38 & T120.
I'm watching the forecast too, and it's changing by the hour. Either side of sunday is supposed to be ok, so everything could change depending on how quickly this front comes through? Windy is fine, wet is yak
Bring a leather glove for your hauling hand, you might need it to hang onto the mono running line for the heavier events if it does rain.
