Quite an interesting idea you have there young Skywalker, but an ingenious one!!
Although I would have to agree with what both Stu and Red have said. I believe it would be better to have 2 area reps for each area, as then the work load is shared, but good communication would be a strong point for selection.
If the idea were to take off, I will gladly put myself forward to be considered as an area rep for the Lincolnshire area, although I do have a time consuming job when the season kicks back in, and will no doubt be on the road quite often, so this would have to be taken into consideration.
I believe it was LeedsCruize that I saw the idea on, but we could possibly start a fund for the meets, conforming to local laws, etc, and generally being good boys while we drool over the cars at each meet, but also having literature printed up for each area's meet, for which I know a very good designer and a printing company, to spread the word of the forum and meets.
