RC Meet in Scotland - 2007?

[Gadget]

We're waiting on Pam's coursework dates, which she won't know until next month/year.

Then we have to be canny about venues and avoiding peak season because of costs.

It will probably be Central belt because of ease of travel and access to 'things' . Maybe those who want to do the Highlands could have an extended break

What's 'central belt' mean?  Remember, a few sassenachs might want to show up!

It's the area surrounding the Glasgow/Edinburgh axis.  Basically the bit between the Border hills and the Highlands.  Been searching for a mpa to show you, but not found one yet.

Thanks Julian!  I've always wanted an excuse to go to Livingston!

And, if we're stuck for things to do when we meet up there, 'Livingston Alive' advises:

Lets start off by finding out what people do to pass their time.  People can either listen to a wide selection of local and BBC radio stations, including Radio Forth, Radio Clyde, Non-Stop Beat 106 and BBC Radios 1,2,3,4 and FiveLive.   They might watch TV or go to the local cinema.

Hmm - sounds like my kinda town!

the late Robin Cook was MP for Livingston.

Do you have ancestors from there Paul

Eating Out in Livingston can {emphasis added} be an excellent experience, with a wide variety of restaurants, bars clubs and take-aways you are sure to find something to fit your needs.

From Indian Cuisine to a Chippy, from a Chinese Buffet to a Burger, Livingston can offer them all

So you're meeting in Livingston then 

Just count me out
