Of the people who have asked to be included in the Eastern Victorian meet list there are 9 or so pretty active members.
There are of course other members in the Eastern part of Vic who aren't on the list because they haven't asked to be included.
Assuming that some of those who are on the list because they asked to be don't want to / can't attend the proposed national meet and that some of those who aren't on the list might want to / can attend we have a fairly diverse area to cover.
Picking a "central" point to meet needs to be done when all hands are in the air saying who will definitely attend, that way it will be easier to choose somewhere that suits the travel distances involved I feel.
