Scottish New Year Meet - Comrie Croft

[windward]

Was wondering if anyone has thought about another Scottish New Year meet at Comrie Croft again...the last was great! I know it's a while off yet but if it's goint to happen it might mean booking, or at least letting them know we're thinking of something again. I did mention it to George up there on Friday and said I'd get the word out on here to see what interest there was.

I suppose there are other venues but thought the facilities were excellent there especially if staying for 4 days as last time.

Look forward to you thoughts....

I was thinking of a padded room for this New Year just to be on the safe side uppy_dog

Not likely lad I'm having a chilled out New Year this time and hopefully you won't spend it flat on your back stoned on the good drugs in hospital

Seriously, yes I'm interested again. How about booking the Hall though ? Would they let us do that so there was a place to socialise in the dry if it does chuck it down ? Someone said it hit -7C last year, and we all had ice formed inside the tents and tarps because it was so wet too.

Stuart F suggested a skills sharing weekend, and we'd thought about Comriecroft, a dry place to share books and tools and sit up late working if we wanted ?
Do we want to try to combine the two ?

cheers,

A combined event sounds a great idea Toddy...I'll call Andrew tomorrow at the Croft to see about the possibility of having access to the hall and what the cost might be if any.

I spoke to Andrew about the room...it's all booked up for a wedding over New Year :-( and there's nothing else available. So it means we'll be outside like last time. He was also saying he'd like it a bit more organised when it came to the booking as last time he didn't really know who was all there as part of the group.
