Re: Forth Bridge meet
It was great to see so many Bongos along with faces old and new. Here's our pics:
We spent Saturday in Edinburgh. We were tempted by this but thought it best to give it a miss and keep our heads clear for the big meet:
Got a bit of a shock when we looked out of the Bongo on Saturday morning and saw this:
With the snow we were worried that numbers might be down as the Bongo's stayed at home around warm fireplaces.
Not to worry though as once we got onto the city bypass all the snow vanished after a couple of junctions and plenty of Bongos had ventured along although ours was the only one with snow on the roof:
Thanks to Jim the Box and his mate for the entertainment:
I did have a couple of pics taken in panoramic mode but need to work out why photobucket won't let me load upload them.
A big thanks to Gordon, David, Jim and anybody else who helped organise the meet.
Hope to see a few of the faces at the Scottish Bongo Bash.

Re: Forth Bridge meet
That's got to be the best stunt I've seen pulled in the name of Bongos. Well done to dunslair, the laird & co for organising.mountainmummy wrote:
I reckon you should be in charge of next year's Scottish bash, maybe get us camped in the centre circle at Murrayfield or within Edinburgh castle

Re: Forth Bridge meet
What, where they have the temporary grandstands for the Tattoo? That would be worth doing. Although it's sure to confuse the American tourists

It would make our Japanese visitors feel quite at home though.......
Re: Forth Bridge meet
Thinking along the same lines, Stirling Castle car park would make a good venue.
Re: Forth Bridge meet
For our first attendance at a get together it was good to see so many like minded people. Hope to be able to do this again some time. Sorry we missed everybody at the Hawes Inn.

Re: Forth Bridge meet
Great idea Gordon, think you should start a new thread (not in this section) for ideas, suggestions, location etc, Elaine and myself would like to have a weekend away each month at least, so we are up for anything. So far we plan to visit Dunkeld next month, and Mull at the end of April ,and we are also thinking of the big 2013 bash down south as well, so if any other Scots are travelling down, a convoy may be a good idea in case of breakdown/mechanical problems. I'm sure Matt will have at least one Red Squirrel visit in mind,the laird wrote:I think we should try and keep this group together ,I propose after the feedback were getting another meet in the near future.possibly the border area?open to all suggestions (don't be shy)it's for all to propose.we could then invite our neighbours from over the border for, to join in with HAGGIS &NEEPS
It's up to you and all to keep the ball rolling.fire questions at me and I don't mind doing ground work to us organise things

In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.
