Sam, Jim, Are you still planning to hold the next jav fest in April 2009, as per the archived JF7 thread? Hope so, as it'll give the throwers some early season competition to look forward to. Can we make sure it's down south please, as I'm not sure our southern based athletes can cope with the harsh conditions up north Ivan

this is indeed something which we will begin to discuss in the new year. location location location... it's always a sticking point and was one of the reason's it fell through at the end of this year. I think i put forward that we will try and hold one in the "south" and one further north but this depends on the members assisting us in getting facilities. we have no funds and any fees required to be paid to the tracks is taken from the entry fees on the day.
we have used 3 excellent facilites over the years.. Eton, Bedford and milton keynes. I understand that watford is undergoing a refurbishment and because of it's locatino may be a good place to go to in the new year

Has anyone ever heard of any places north of Watford Gap? There are great locatinos in Lougaboruga and Dottingham and Brummagen and..... further north where it is cheap like Lancaster and Morrycambey and..... even further north like Carlisle.... about as far as it is for the Southern Softies as it is for the Northern Nerds to venture South again and again and again and again and again and again and again FULL STOP

Don't take offence but we all no that southerners get a nose blead if they cum up north... I agree with Sam maybe to have one in the north and South or would Loughborough be more central for everyone?? Plus you should all no how tight us northerners are...

Yeah! But we learnt that from the Scots when they came down for our women!
The Scots didn't get far enough south obviously.....they found enough of what they wanted in the north!

or maybe they just heard the reputation of the fierce southern women and took fright?

or they found that the southern women were too much to handle and decided that the women in the north were an easier bet? :-)

thats a bit harsh bionic lol. Don't forget the southerners earn more than us northerners so they must prefer the northerners for our looks,personality and more importantly our brains or maybe braun
