Gasroom Diaspora
With a couple of blank weeks ahead, I wondered how to fill the time. So I thought we could explore just how spread the gasroom diaspora is.
Please list the distance from your home (including say uni if there at present) to a league club (check distance on AA routefinder. You can sign up for more than one club - eg if you live in London you will be close to quite a few.
I'll tabulate nearest signup for each answer.
You can predict what the total distance will be for all 92 clubs if you wish. My guess is 862 miles.
For first couple of days only interested in clubs within 20 mile radius.
