I have got to ask: how did Ravenscar ever get chosen for an Ada meeting
place ?

I can understand a place like (say) York, or another university town/city,
but of all the places on the planet, how did a little coastal "town
that never was" ever get chosen for an Ada meeting ?

One very curious person,

Simon.

PS: I'm from Yorkshire so I know the area well and I have also walked
through Ravenscar while doing a walk so I know the place personally.
