Wild or on a Campsite? With a decent pub nearby. Perhaps somewhere around the Trossachs would suit most people.

I am not available on 13th to 15th March - Snowdonia Meet and 27th to 29th March - Tough Northerners Meet in Northumberland.

Sounds like a good location, easy strike from both East & West.

Managed to get a room. \:D/

We will be floating around Glasgow, East Kilbride, and Hamilton on the 5th and 6th, and might be around Livingston on the 7th. Dont know how many of us are going yet, as the older ones might stay here if I can get my Mother to babysit. [-o<

A word or two of advice for daymeet organisers based on bitter experience combined with a larger part of great times.

If you are organising a day meet just set a date, time and venue and invite peeps to join you,

If you faff about trying to please everyone the meet will never happen of the thread will go totally off topic and be lost in a flood of discussion,

Good luck with your meet...and if no one turns up then it is their loss and you can still have a nice day out anyway.

cheers

Good decision. Sound advice from Harry. I should practice it more often in my life. Hey ho :roll:

PS - and edit the thread title if poss. so it shows the date and location, and keep 'bumping' the thread so it crops up in peeps 'View New Posts' list.

Well done steviebongo, I hope to see you there. :D

Some questions though (for anyone)..........

1) Is the main car park in the centre of town, as marked here.... http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=aberfo ... %20FK8%203

2) Roughly how long will it take to get there from the out skirts of Glasgow, somewhere like Dumbarton.

Cheers.
