A tough call, Heatherdale has become a real tradition over many years. I wouldn't like to lose that, but I get where you're coming from, we can mix things up.
One real advantage to moving the meeting away from JHB is that people will need to commit and spend the entire weekend together. As it is now, there are too many people from the JHB/PTA area that don't join in for all of the fun.
In 2011, we did the XXL party in Cape Town. It was in addition to the rAge weekend, and it was a magic weekend. We had activities as well as a proper party. I would be all for doing something down here again next year, but with a bit more of a budget i.e. we book somewhere for all of us to stay, rather than staying with friends/clanmates scattered all over Cape Town.
I know that the clan is far more Gauteng dominated than it used to be, but having something down here means that at least not everyone would have to travel, meaning a better travel subsidy for the guys flying in from up North.
Ideally, it would be great to do BOTH rAge and another weekend. If we do so though, we should plan to have the other weekend in around March/April, to spread things out across the year.
