Although I do have my hand up for a NQ Rally, we do need to consider a venue that will attract our OzSTOC members, NQ may be a deterrent due to the distance that the majority or bulk of the members would have to ride. So for example SEQ members, it's a solid 2 day ride, 3 to 4 days for NSW and Vic and a good week for SA and WA.
Remember there are more people in the south and west to travel north than northern members to travel south.
I do like the idea of a core selection panel with representatives from each state deciding instead of an individual choosing (no offence big D) and with today's technology it wouldn't be difficult to link up a online conference call for the discussion or decision.
