That's my take on the situation
Just a thought.....is there anywhere just south of the border to hold the meet?....Carlisle?.....and call it the Carlisle/Gretna 2021 meet?

The meet could still retain its original name of the Anglo Scottish meet, but as stated possibly held South of the Border.

Lowther Castle Penrith Would be my choice Mark, fantastic venue,I believe several car meets have been held there with the Castle as a backdrop behind the cars.

I made inquiries there some years ago with the intention of holding a meet, they seemed very interested, but for some reason which alludes me now it was never followed up.

There is a good cafe in the courtyard, however at weekends especially as Lowther is a very popular venue for visitors, can become very busy.

A view of the castle ruins from inside of the gardens, would make a great alternative if Gretna could not go ahead.
