Look, I'm going there on a business trip. I will also spend time looking for places that we can visit.

I'm doing it all for the love of you all ;D ;D ;D

Oh Gadget, the sacrifices you make for us Rootschatters.

Just try to put your best foot forward and I am sure you'll do just fine surviving in the hotel and undergoing retail therapy.   :D  :D

And how will we ever be able to thank you ...


Speak for yourself yn9man, it looks pretty adequate to me! ;D

Prue
.

I need to get better glasses if the hotel is "pretty adequate". Maybe thats also the reason why I can't see or find my relatives ...

So that Julian and I can do some forward planning/organising, we need to know whether people would like a one day/two day or 1 and a half day meeting.

The main day would probably be a Saturday. This could take in all or part of the Sunday and, maybe meeting up on the Friday evening for those coming from afar. If people travel up on the Saturday, it would mean a late start and, possibly an event (The Barras or something on the Sunday am). Also we'll need to get a list of accommodation prepared.

I'm not sure if I can put up another poll on this thread so could you PM me please with your proposed times.

Thanks

Oh Cal - ever so sorry. I'll put it on immediately  :-[

I probably counted you in with your cousin. We're getting some good ideas coming in now  :)

I wish I could confirm to you whether or not we're coming, but I won't know for a while yet.  Suffice to say we will try to fit in with whatever date you choose, depending on whether or not we can afford to fly at that time of year.  It is cheaper from October onwards than during the [northern] summer months.
