[size=14]Hello Guys,
Well I Think it's about time we started a new thread about the Next Meeting of the Jockular Omegas.

How's about Easter Monday, 9th April 07 on the Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond and make a day of it and have a BBQ, I was thinking about Rowerdannen at the base of Ben Lomond it's a Great Location and it's on the quieter east side of the loch and the road ends there so no through traffic

Tell me what you think!!!!!!!![/size]

You know it's gonna rain on that day now

BTW is Easter Monday a bank holiday in Scotland? I'm a student so I can take it off regardless but just curious as to the choice of that day.

The  reason I choice this date was the fact that it was a bank holiday, as the last time we tryed to organise a date people where working, so I chose a bank holiday to maximise attendence

There is a great picnic area there right next to the car park

Does the location sound OK to

[hotel21]

Location is fine, not been round that way for AGES so why not?

May be a trek for some others, though...

You fancy a whisky tour?

Glenturret Distillery location

Its quite central(ish)...

If partners were attending, could be left wandering the glass factory type places in Crieff.

Sorry chaps, but I think that is getting a wee bit too far away for me!  
That must be at least another hour past Stirling, I think, and that means around 8 hours driving in total, probably more knowing the frigging tourists on the A9 on bank holidays.
For your next one after this try somewhere around Perth, its a more central location for everyone!
Have fun boys (& girls).

Come on, I've just checked autoroute and it's 156 miles from Inverness to Rowardennan 2hr 50 mins
You Know It Makes SENSE

Jim,
I'm going to have to disagree with you mate. It takes me 2.5 hours to get to Stirling on a good day, 3 hours to glasgae.
With that being Easter bank holiday weekend, the roads are going to be busier anyway.
Remember dude, my roads up here only have 1 lane going either way, mostly.
