Well I don't know about anyone else but I think I'll be going to Warwick for the free music on 6th July to round off my funpacked weekend.
Going to Lincolnshire on 4th for nieces wedding on 5th, lunch with family at nieces new in-laws place on Sunday (also venue for wedding reception), then back home to listen to music by Queen. (I wonder if I could filch a bottle or 2 of something from the reception for Sunday night.)  Sounds like bliss - especially as won't even need to buy drinks at the wedding. 
Anyone who cares to join me in Warwick is welcome whether we call it a CAG meet or not. I suspect DD will join me if she isn't too hung over, but at least one of my friends is joining me.
If not, are we any further along choosing a location or date? Are we losing momentum here?

It certainly does, although ocean liners are very popular too as this snippet courtesy of the Leamington Spa Courier illustrates.  Quote: THE GREAT FLOOD
THE great flood of Good Friday, 1998, was certainly a day to remember.
A month of rainfall fell in one day causing the Avon, Leam and Grand Union Canal to burst their banks.
Hundreds of motorists were left stranded by the rising water and residents were rescued from homes in and around Leam Terrace and villagers further afield were also forced out.
The Courier produced two souvenir picture supplements, one two weeks after, and the other a year on to mark the incredible event.
And in a scene straight from its biggest blockbuster Titanic, Leamington’s Apollo Four Cinema sank beneath the water line.
Staff found rows of submerged seats and a ruined main screen when they arrived early on Friday morning. The Portland Place cinema now faces a repair bill of at least £150,000, while the main screen will be out of action for a month.
Assistant manager Sylvia Cleary said: “The main screen is gone and we only have limited heating, but in true showbiz tradition the show must go on. We are still showing the Titanic. The flooding was like scene from the film - but without the orchestra,” Mrs Cleary added. Despite the brave faces, staff are left counting the cost of missing out on a traditionally profitable period.

Er, you've not seen it!
It is in Lowestoft and belongs to my Mother's Brother in law.
And no, his name is not Robert. |

We don't seem any further forward with this so how about I suggest a meet in Birmingham on a Friday night? Would a Friday work for most people?
The reason I'm suggesting this is because it will be pretty cheap for anybody who is planning on staying over: Travelodge have family rooms available (which will sleep 3 adults) for £19 (less than £6.50 per person) on 18th & 25th July; 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th Aug; & 5th Sep.
Failing this, if people prefer a Saturday night then there are some rooms available for £29 (just under a tenner per person) but these hotels are a few miles from the city centre so would involve a short taxi ride etc - dates available 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd 30th Aug & 6th Sep.
Finally, city centre rooms on a Saturday night from £49 (£16.50ish per person) - this rate only available on 9th, 16th, 23rd Aug & 6th Sep.
