My car is really old and ropey - and my health is similar! Even Plymouth is a long way from here - 50+ miles. Not a huge distance, but I find travelling can be difficult sometimes. I would imagine distances are one of the biggest issues - but one which it is hard to deal with in such a strung out peninsula as Cornwall/Devon. From Penzance, a trip to Plymouth is a very long drive each way - not that I know if there are members down South that far. If I am well, and there is a meeting a little more local to me, I would attend regularly. Bodmin, Newquay, Truro, even Camborne/Redruth area would be great. I could probably get a meeting place organised here in Summercourt fairly easily, but there is no internet connection in our local hall as far as I am aware. There is a school - but the cost for that may be prohibitive - but I can certainly check. I was hoping to make the barbeque back in the summer - but that was the day my family returned home from holiday - so I was the taxi service for the day. An event like that - held over a period of time in the summer, which allows people to attend for an afternoon or whatever is a good idea.
