Here Here!!  For those of us in the southern-most end of the Western
Region, Trelac, the Northern-most end (Adlersrhue) is only five or six
hours away, depending on who's driving :-).  If that is the greatest
distance I have to travel to be a part of this close-knit family called
the Western Region, then I'd much rather do that.  The Southern Region
is too far away for me.  Though I enjoy my trips to Bryn Gwlad, it is 4
hours away for me--and that's the *closest* group in the Southern
Region.  To play in the South, my best senario is a four-hour drive, my
worst senario is an eight-hour drive.  Compared to the distances I drive
to play in the West, that is ridiculous.  I love playing in the Southern
Region, and I love the Western Region, too.  But it's all just a whole
lot easier, and more practical, if the Western Region stays together.
