FF/FS The Xmas 'claimed on expenses' event Perth 26th-28th nov 2010

Ok guys and girls,

Due to the massive success of last year, We are having the bash in perth again this year, looking at travelodges at about 19 notes for a night or why not go for two and spend a couple of nights with some of the FS mods?

Hope to see you all there,

Steve

This is looking like it could be a great weekend folks, hopefully see a few new faces at this one

Change of dates? Which weekend is it?

 

[M21MFS]

It's the second of the two (26th-28th nov 2010) mate.

Hopefully this will give more folk the chance to attend, with end of month wages etc.

Travelodge currently £22 a night for that weekend then, still not bad
Will look into it

The only issue for me is getting the full weekend off. I think at the very least I'll get the Sunday off and an early Saturday so I can head up for the main events

 

[Noddy]

Really bad weekend for me, will have to see if i can get all three nights shifts off!

 

[dave]

am i right in thinking the main meal for the weekend will be on the saturday evening? and people can just come to 1 or 2 bits off the weekend if they cant do it all?

That was pretty much the structure of it last year. I think (though I'll need to confirm this) that we want a more planned night out as it were on the Saturday as last year we basically just went to the pub for a meal - though that was pretty entertaining and then we all piled back to Martyn's hotel room for some alcoholic beverage consumption and Police Academy. Friday will form part of this planning I think, but I'm sure we'll be doing something special that day too

Sunday will be the meet day as it were for everyone to Ooo and Ahhh at the cars We'll go for a drive to hopefully somewhere interesting and of course chat about said cars of course amongst probably the previous night's events

And hopefully for the first time pretty much we'll have some decent weather - 2008 was a bit chilly but at least it was dry, last year was almost as rain soaked as St Andrews was this year.

Dave, that seems to be the plan.

The Friday is very much informal, and really is just there for those of us with things to do to get a head start. It's an extra night away for anyone who fancies joining us.

There'll be some form of daytime activity (non car) on the Saturday, and the meal/entertainment at night. No weatherspoons this year, not if we can help it!

Sunday will be, as muppet said, some form of gentle drive in the PM time.

Good stuff!

Hoping this will be as busy, if not busier, than some of our previous Xmas meets!

 

[Helz]

Right, I've managed to swap my weekend off work. Now before I start booking cover (which I'm not going to unbook), are we SURE about this date?

 

[M21MFS]

Last weekend in November is affirmative.

We moved it to suit a few folk from chats at Stanford etc. Wont be changing again!

 

[StripedBennett]

ive got a flat in perth, if anyone is tight on cash theres always a bed available (all be it a blow up one). plus plenty of parking

Is there any kind of itinerary for this weekend? I have the weekend off (incl Friday!) according to the current rota so could well make a special appearance

yes

[Eklipze3k]

Would it not be cheaper just to come up in the Punto then?
