Just a suggestion, seeing as its the holiday season....

How about a wee meet somewheres different such as this?

http://www.fife.gov.uk/atoz/index.cfm?fuseaction=facility.display&facid=F34F9DCE-399D-4C02-97A10D6AC5118C4C

OK, its not repair friendly, not great if it decides to chuck it down, but it is nice, free, and with a nearby plastic distraction for other halves, particularly if they play golf?

And, surprise surprise, theres loads of camping/B&B/hotels in the area?

Will make a poll for the summer hols to see if ters enough interest on dates. Otherwise, its yet another jockula omegas meet that crashes and burns........

hey ho...

If its in the school holls it would be great to come.
is it poss. to do a meet closer to the borders? there might be more people able to get there as its not to far then. just a thought.

True...

Post up a possible venue and I will make the thread into a poll.

If anyone else wants to suggest a venue, within reasonable travelling distance of those who care to respond, then no doubt we may (eventually) settle on a possible venue..... :-?

may.....

Kielder seems like a good place for a meet theres also a bit to do ie water sports camping the castle and a lot more I do belive. its also direct on the border.

Sounds like a possible plan, just depends when, and on my health

Yep thats true I.ve been north of the wall a couple of times but not with my mig, I had a 44 t Scania artic.

just thought that kielder is roughly on the border that others from the south could also get there as its then not that far to drive and its a very nice area. was just a thought.

Ps never try to deliver with an artic in edinburgh city center, its a bloody nightmare.

Can see what you mean but there are a few of the Scotslads that make it to Newent each year too, so they do the extra mile

HI2DVY · « **Reply #12 on:** 21 July 2009, 21:57:38 »

A trip home to St.Andrews. Braw.

Count me in Broocie

Big Fra · « **Reply #13 on:** 07 August 2009, 18:27:13 »

Yeah, book me a provisional place Broocie, dunno what I'll be in though, froggy diseasel or the jap hearse.

When are we thinking?

Kielder would be cool, not been there since I was 17 and driving CGD360S

along the forest stages.

What a car and amazing roads. 8-)

Otterburn too.

Anyway, thats another story.

The Kingdom is good too, not done any rallying up there though. Wouldn't mind a trip to Mercury Motorsport too.

I'm up for it depending when, as need to have trip up the road anyway to catch up with the family, so that location is ideal for me

We could probably rough camp it out the tip of the west sands, the end of the sands where the opening sequences of Chariots of Fire was filmed, provided we contact the local plod (*cough*) to stop them bothering us.

Is there a ball-park on the dates yet?

Nope.

The weekend of sat 12th sept is the RAF Leuchars open day and its on the opposite side of the bay, just a few hundred yards away. Space then is very much at a premium but might - I say might - be just worth the effort of turning up on the friday and leaving on the sunday.......

So has this done the usual Jock meet thing and died?

hotel21 · « **Reply #19 on:** 26 August 2009, 17:07:14 »

yup......
