    "Huddersfield is north of Watford, and thus perceived as being "a long way away" for anyone in the South, and certainly far too long way away for a day trip.


    So ....

    We're considering holding a 5th BIRTHDAY PARTY, at the Sasquatch Studios (Huddersfield) "


    Ha! I thought that was gonna say, so...we'll do something more central!

    It's more like: "So we're doing two days to make it worthwhile"

    So? So ... so you’re saying you going to walk? Good on you! Thats the spirit ... take a leaf out of The Proclaimers singing “I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more”.

    I’ll should be on holiday in Scotland ( perhaps waving to DiscoStu as our paths cross) which, oddly enough, is what I was doing when I got a text from @RocknRollDave about a new forum replacing the musicradar one. 
    So, I can’t join you In Huddersfield but I’ll give you all a moment’s thought as I traipse across a damp campsite. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    I Googled Huddersfield, it just returned football results.

    This might surprise a few people ...

    (The big red pin is Huddersfield).



    ... pretty much equidistant from London, Glasgow & Edinburgh.  There's a lot more of the UK north of Glasgow/Edinburgh than there is south of London (so you could argue that, geographically, Hudd is more south than north!), but I used those 3 cities as major population centres.

    ... pretty much equidistant E/W (ie Liverpool/Hull).

    ... closer to B'ham than London is.

    ... ridiculously close to Manchester, Leeds/Bradford and Sheffield.


    So in terms of being "central", it's pretty much as central as it could be between the 9 largest cities in the UK.

    starting to run out of objections.

    what about sparklers? do all the beer taps have sparklers to eradicate beer flavours?

  • Apparently, the actual center of the UK is Haltwhistle, a good bit north of Huddersfield, on hadrians wall. 

    I suspect that includes counting some northern islands though.

    ." pretty much equidistant from London, Glasgow & Edinburgh.  There's a lot more of the UK north of Glasgow/Edinburgh than there is south of London"

    Yeah but there's 12 people there compared to 40 million in the south! (estimated figures : )

    No argument there - but Huddersfield is pretty much central to the 9 largest cities in the UK, from London in the South, to Glasgow & Edinburgh in the North (ignoring whatever happens north of G&E!).

    No location will ever work for anyone, but my recollection of the Huddersfield jam session was that it (a) quickly filled up with attendees and (b) drew in people from a reasonable geographic area. 

    If we arranged something in Camden, we'd get people in Islington complaining about how far it was, and people in Croydon who'd argue that they'd never travel North of the river.
