I emphasise we've only just started planning, so can't yet say anything will happen with any great certainty - we have yet to find a venue, for example.
My thinking on this was:
- There has been a resurgence of interest in the QL in recent years - QL Forum has over 1,000 members now, and the Sinclair QL For Everyone group on Facebook has 1.6K members.
The work of people like Peter Graf, Derek Stewart and Vitaly (Tetroid) and other individuals who've worked so hard to produce useful new hardware has injected a lot of new enthusiasm.
My own website has experienced more visitors recently than it has for a long time.
The "Welcome Area" on QL Forum experiences a steady trickle of new members introducing themselves from several countries.
The recent event in Spain managed to attract 40 attendees - in the UK, that would have been a good figure for the events we used to have years ago, but of course interest in the QL has if anything grown a lot since back then
My personal thinking is that the venue should be fairly central in the UK, reasonably equidistant for both ends of the UK, and close to a major airport (for anyone from outside the UK) and motorways, reasonable access to public transport.
