Plans are well under way for our usual Fiat-Scotland/Fiat Forum Xmas weekender. In the past we've been to Perth and Glasgow and last year we held it in Aberdeen. This year we're heading south again and basing ourselves in Dundee for the weekend of the 29th/30th of November. It will be the usual set up of entertainment on the Saturday afternoon, somewhere to eat and drink Saturday evening and then a gentle run in the cars Sunday morning after breakfast. More info below

Accommodation

Camperdown Leisure Park,

Entertainment

Saturday

The first trip of the day is Dundee Museum of Transport, DD1 3LA. As parking is limited we are proposing that we meet at whichever proves to be the more popular hotel for 2:15 pm and we'll organise car shares down there. Last entrance is 3 pm so we will be leaving at 2:30. Prices are £3 per adult and it's cheaper for children - price to be added later

There are two options after this which are either head back to the hotels to check in (usually after 3 pm for travelodge and premier inn), shower and change for evening activities or have a wee tour of the Discovery. Prices are more expensive for this at £8.75 per adult so we understand not everyone will want to go.

After this we'll have a leisurely meal and then it'll be time to explore the legendary Dundee nightlife. There is a poll over on FS with a choice of 5 venues for food so take a look and let us know where you'd like to eat. More menus should be added in the next few days

Sunday

Breakfast and a wee trip out into the countryside

Most major attractions will do a "group rate", could make the Discovery more accessible..,

my in-laws are Dundonians.. but Bit too far for me to join you..,
Charlie - Oxford

cheers Charlie, I'll look into that. Are you sure we can't tempt you to some legendary Dundee night life?

I'd have been tempted but I'm working that weekend and unlikely to be able to swap it :(

Shame :( but understandable
 
Re: Planes, Trains & Automobiles...& a Boat - the Xmas bash

Oh damn, really sorry to hear that :( I hope it's for a suitably fun reason though and we see you again next year for show time. Pass on my best to your missus please

P.S there's always Wick
