As it is the clubs 20th anniversary I thought it would be nice to do different trips as well as the usual like the Blackpool Bash, Megaglow Mania and Loopathon.

When you were sent membership renewal forms last year and this year you were asked what parks you would like to visit depending on quantity and quality of rides.

Also some of the non coaster related trips are a good idea like the Bingo Bash but that would only be for over 18's due to gaming laws, so it would be good to do something that the younger children could join in with.

It is a shame where they used to have the pool party has gone as that would have been fun.

During the winter months it would be nice to go somewhere like Waterworld in Staffordshire.

Some of the country's travelling funfairs would be good.

There's still a load of parks on the West Coast USA  I haven't done (was gutted missing out on West Coaster Story), so personally speaking those would be towards the top of my list.. (it's just having the funds available and having to book up so far in advance that's sometimes tricky...).

I would really like to do a longer RCCGB European Tour after doing the Disney Dash in 2005.
I`m also interested in doing the West Coast USA parks and Vegas one day with the club. As i was new to the club in 2005 i missed out there. Especially Knotts Berry Farm, Magic Mountain and Santa Cruz.
Would like to do the Canada parks, ie, Canada`s Wonderland, Marineland and the parks close to them areas.

As for British trips i would like to see a couple of out of season meet ups. I know a couple of other groups do this. Parks like Southend, Brighton Pier, Blackpool and Thorpe now open around December, January and February months.
A couple of non set destination trips per year could be a lot of fun. Take in Flamingoland, Great Yarmouth, Gulliver's Warringtons great little Woodie and some of the smaller parks.

I'm looking forward to see what may be included in the proposed summer bash, but a nice European trip is something I long for.

It will be interesting to see what suggestions are made and what comes of them.

I would like to do the Disney Dash if they do it again as with any trips outside of the uk, that one would be a good start for me as I am relatively new to the club.

I last went to Disneyland Paris 10 years ago and would like to see how much it has changed.

A Yorkshire mini trip would be good. Can take in Lightwater Valley and Flamingoland.

I would love to do Flamingo Land sometime again.

Would be great for a summer bash or Lightwater Valley.

Hopefully we will go to some different venues next year.

Lightwater Valley for the Summer Bash.  (But ERS not on the Ultimate)

Then the unofficial add on to Flamingo Land on the Sunday.

(I'm not sure RCCGB is ready for another 2 day event)

I was very impressed with the selection of rides at Flamingo Land as there was something for all ages.
