The saving grace, of course, is that once there you are unlikely to have to utter the name to the locals!

I did also say that I thought Shrewsbury has better options. I do have an overall preference for W Midland rather than E Midland towns. The ease of getting there isn't a major factor for me unless it's somewhere really silly like Pwllheli, Helston or Wick. .
That's easy to get round, just call it Amwythig!! (Edit: I've just seen that this has been covered!!)
There is potentially another problem in that it rains a lot in Wales which often affects the River Severn here. The fact is that the weather can wreck one of these events at any time of year and in ant place. My visit to Nottingham this week didn't go to plan nor did my visit to Wales last year when the Beast From The East came to town.
