Re: A Scottish Meet
Hi Trevor
This is absolutely great that you have arranged and organised this. Well done. The only thing is how will the parking be organised? I don't remember that there was all that much space around you. TimR

Re: A Scottish Meet
If my wife & I do the trip down & back to Trevor's in a oner, we could possibly pick someone up in Dundee, Perth or Stirling etc, thus keep car numbers down.
Another factor to consider in relation to cars, or more specifically - their boot capacity, is how much stuff do folk intend to take down for swopping or bartering ? ie. I've a number of AVO's & Meggers, a couple of lovely big resistance bridges, heaps of capacitors & valves & a complete ship to shore AM VHF installation(circa 156Mhz). Prahaps the final number of guys should contact each other by PM closer to Oct, & see who's looking for what. Rather than choke up the Forum with "Offered" posts, and keep car boot loading to a minimum. Regards, David |

Re: A Scottish Meet
I could fill a pick up truck with stuff to pass on / barter, but a list of "stuff to go and stuff wanted", from everyone going would be a good idea!
I will have a hunt around tomorrow and see what I have "to go". Thanks, Paul. |

Re: A Scottish Meet
Hi.
Personally I would think car boots should be filled to capacity, especially as this type of meet probably won't happen all that often. The idea of a wanted/offered is good but a surprize on the day is even better. Cheers Trevor

Re: A Scottish Meet
Hello Mark, Great news. Shall look foreward to meeting up again. I think Trevor is on holiday just now, but I'm sure he'll be really pleased too.
I've been "lewk & weep-ing" again, so hope to have a decent car boot load of worthwhile stuff. Regards, David |

Re: A Scottish Meet
Hi Guys & Gals
Just an update. All is on track for October, I think there will be about 15-18 members coming. Although my "den shed etc" is quite big it is also quite full!! I will erect a stout and large Gazebo to the entrance of the shed. this will give us more room for the "swap". As I said in my previous posts Anne will keep us going in soup, sandwiches, tea & coffee. etc. Wives & Girlfriends will be welcome and of course can help out with carrying out the goodies . There also will be a run out to Sorn where Bob Baird (I wonder if he's a relation of John logie) has his workshop and small museum, if there is interest, anyone going will not come away empty handed!! I am looking forward to the day and I am sure it will be great. Any questions please just ask Mark the mender looking forward to meeting up Cheers Trevor Remember its the 18th of October

Re: A Scottish Meet
Hi.
Just a thought anyone staying overnight (Saturday or Monday) could they post or PM as it might be nice to stay in the same hotel and that's a great excuse for a Pint Cheers "hic" Trevor

Re: A Scottish Meet
HI,
We will be staying over somewhere on the Saturday but don't know where yet as guest houses to meet our requirements (disabled access / no stairs), seems very sparse? Paul. |

Unless we all agree to meet at a certain (quiet) pub at a certain time?
