there are lots of local meetings
but does depend on how local you are or how far you can travel
most of the general LOC meetings are not expensive, they normally involve a major attraction so you are paying for what you get, majority of those prices are discounted
the exception is the Nurburgring trip although it costs a fair bit, i think everyone will agree its worth every penny
Johnboy is LOC`s meets organiser, he has organised quite a few meets for this year, but feel free to post up a meet that you fancy and see who else will come along
