Everyone in- Other websites/clubs at future AOS events.

I enjoyed the weekend.. this bit needed digging out and not being drowned in side topics though.
To me, the reason it might not work is that other fora are based on a single club, Where they all know each other,hang out with each other the rest of the year and their own control mechanisms (RWI have an oversite committee ). We are a cobbled together mishmash of about 5-6 looseknit clubs.. when we go places we are more surprised to meet each other than be a synergistic body/team..we've always had someone bring some poor waif along etc etc.
The tournament was a proper full, well attended ,well participated tourney..which frankly we've had to struggle to eek together with the last minutitus from across the country previously.(AOS was 11 out of 25 peeps? 4 of which were pretty last minute)
Whilst several people enjoy a tournament (James loved it being a challenge full of experienced tourney-ers)an awful lot of the peeps here (who do attend events) previously stated our inhouse tourney things were a bit too hardcore(from past posts I'm pretty much counting Sami and Stuntys "meh could if pushed", and everyone passed that).
I enjoy beer and pretzels weekends playing fun crap for hours, I enjoy fun hardcore tournament stuff. I think with possibly the exception of oop north Si, no one else here could happily do either and be equally happy.
Should this be a Roll With It Saturday.. and we form a delegation inside their day as hosts to us and this other club?. And have an age of strife sillyness weekend elsewhere.. or do we need the numbers to amalgamate our already amalgation to be quorate enough to carry on justifying a weekend.
Will we lose random road warriors such as Ruffians crew if it becomes proper tourney centred, will our benevolent overlord refuse to spend the day being whipped with a big broom handle?
Everyone throw in their tuppence.. but its open thread be nice.
