Glad to see another scot on here.
 
The meets are usually titled "Jockular Omegas"
Dunno who came up with that one.

There is a bit of a trend with these meets.......
They take ages to get organised.

Have a gander in the Meetings area and you will find some pics from the previous meets.

Hi,

Anymore thoughts on a meet? Would there be a chance of someone with a Tech 2 willing to turn up and do some bits?

Cheers,
Iain

Nothing happened,
I just suggested a few dates to see if there was any intrested
Title: Re: scotland
Post by: Colv on 12 March 2010, 23:59:21
Do we want to try this again folks?  :-/

we need to get oor fingers oot here! lol

What do we think of Grangemouth?
Just of the M9, J5 iirc, theres a car park right behind the sports stadium on Inchyra road
It's just a 100 yard single row of spaces but it's almost always empty, it's only really used by coaches if theres an event on at the stadium

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=inchyra+road+grangemouth+sports+stadium&sll=56.015704,-3.721533&sspn=0.022837,0.0842&ie=UTF8&hq=sports+stadium&hnear=Inchyra+Rd,+Grangemouth,+UK&ll=56.006636,-3.707757&spn=0.011421,0.0421&t=h&z=15&iwloc=A

you can't really see it on the map lol but it's right there to the top right corner of the stadium. It's easy to get to and I think fairly central to everyone according to the OOF map
Theres an open grass area if anyone brings a dog (the four legged kind, not the wife!  :D)

Anyone?
Title: Re: scotland
Post by: hotel21 on 16 March 2010, 23:51:19
yup, do-able for me.....

pick a date to suit everyone else.....  ;)   :D

I think the last one we had was about 2.5 years ago, we used to have them quite often a few years ago them they just fell on there arse!!!
The Biggest one we had was at the Forth Road Bridge I think we had about 20 mig's at that one.
