Best offer I've had this year.
Is this the park your all thinking about?

Yes that's the park. I don't think you'll see us from the road.
Nutty Tart don't use the S word. That's not the right attitude.

looking forawrd to this - maybe 7 Bongos
Is this the actual car park?

Doesn't look very big - does it get used by locals on Sunday for parking for the football pitches that appear to be on the field?

Weather forecasts not great for the weekend,

but at least it's not due to snow.

If it turns a bit iffy there are plenty of places in and around Inverurie we can decamp to!
Really looking forward to this, despite Bongo-ing for over a year now, it will be our first meet, or even mini-meet! Well done to Holly for starting the ball rolling on this one.

I am really looking forward to Sunday. It will be nice to meet you all. I thought of that car park because it is not P&D and being a little out of the town centre we should, hopefully, have it to ourselves.

Parking is nothing to worried about, we have bongos after all.........We can park up on the field itself, if it gets busy.

Hope to make it too. We're expecting visitors in the morning but may be able to get to Inverurie. Fingers crossed, we'll see you on Sunday!

Just picked up on this a bit late but we are up for it - Looking forward to meeting you and should get there between 1130 and 1200.
We are over due giving the Bongo its first run of the year and have a (probably fruitless) mission to complete in Inverurie.
Well done Holly.
See you later

I enjoyed today. It was good to meet local bongos and Brorabongo. I hope we can do it again when the weather is a bit warmer.

9 Bongos in an Inverurie car park - Great.
It was good to meet you all and talk Bongo for a while.
Well done Holly for getting it started.
yes we must do it again when the days are a bit warmer and somewhere with either a pub or picnic area.
hope you got home OK Donald & family - spotted you on your way north as we were leaving Inverurie.
Many Regards to all
Grahame & Valerie

Just got back home and made a cuppa.................................
It was good to meet so many local Bongos and their charges and good that Brorabomgo and Oggy made the trip.
We enjoyed the meet but then it got expensive as much to our surprise Andersons actually had some bedroom furniture we liked (the probably futile mission proved not to be

). So our future hols this year will be camping using the Bongo

.
Holly, thanks for getting us together - the next meet need to be more remote so that retail therapy cannot be a distraction!!!
