Nope, there's not.

I would have thought making the LUGOZ 200? thing a yearly gathering, a
better idea and something to look forward too... I'm sure not all of us
could afford to attend more than one a year if outta state. Whatever the
outcome I still think atleast one major event to be held atleast once a year
(the one most would hopefully attend)... afterall anyone can turn up to any
of the state/local area meets we all hold often anyway??!!??
With something more major, it's much easier to organise a few goodies ;)
Just my thought.
