New Year meet in Scotland

[MagiKelly]

I do not think the FC would have a problem with a hogmanny stay as with any time we are on our best behaviour or we don;t get back

I stop on the 23rd for two weeks so had though about a meeting during the week either between Christmas and New Year or after New Year but as I may have other family commitments it is up to others to decide what suits.

how about both ??? i break off on the 15th for three weeks

 

[Wayland]

The weekend of 6th/7th Jan sounds good to me.

 

[EdS]

6/7th sounds good.

Make an excellent week for me, New Year, my birthday then a moot.

 

[warthog1981]

id miss it then as id be back at work

 

[MagiKelly]

I'm not keen on the 6/7th as it is just before I go back to work. I prefer the idea of it being during my holiday and having time after the meet to recover before going back to work.

 

[CraigM9]

As Russ says - how about both?

Could I tentatively suggest the 6/7th of Jan and perhaps another one beforehand - any takers for an overnighter between the 28-31st?

Cheers,

Craig.

[Doc]

[warthog1981]

[bushyboo]

im still up for it if its before the 8th but cant make it over new year the other half would be none too happy

 

[EdS]

any news of a date yet.

Just got next years diary so I'm looking to start filling it up.

Hi all, i've been away working the last 2 weeks so whats the latest? I'm easy about dates.

 

[Ryan Woods]

all,

who is organisin this? Im asking because at the moment that no one is taking charge of the situation... at least it seems that way.

I would not mind organising it but I live abroad and have never been to one before. Anyone living up north who has time and expertise who fancies to organise it? Or a couple of people...

I suppose there is a good chance you could call me the organiser, simply because I am the one who will make the booking for Loch Achray.

If we look back a bit I asked if people could agree a date as there is a chance I might not be able to make it anyway but ti appears there is no real consensus on dates. Either whether it should be before New Year, after New Year, during the week or at the weekend.

There is also not that many names. There are maybe a dozen people interested and only about half of them would be able to make it.

Anyway it looks like I Will just need to pick a date. My preference is likely to be a meeting late in the week either before New Year or after. I'll check my family commitments and post a date.

 

[Ryan Woods]

good plan... therte will always be people who will not be able to go at a certain date... I will try ajust my schedule according to your dates posted.

 

[Doc]

Best just pick a date John.

Last winter meet was a fairly small affair and suspect this one will be too. I think the low attendance is more due to balancing family/work commitments than fear of the cold. (Though it did get down to minus six or so at last years winter meet.)

Still well worth doing though.

 

[MagiKelly]

Okay the meet will be from the 28th to the 30th December. That is the Thursday, Friday & Saturday between Christmas and New Year.

If anyone wants to stay longer or arrive earlier it should be able to be arranged. Hopefully these dates will meant those of us on holiday can come during the week and those with just the weekend off can attend on the Saturday.

Can those able to come post here so we have an idea of numbers. I will post over on SotP as well.

 

[Doc]

Will be there on Friday night myself. likely have 2 or 3 sons joining me on Saturday.

Have also posted on SotP so don't count us twice.

 

[Graham_S]

I'll be there
(assuming i'm not in west africa looking for oil)
