ellis Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I don't think there's time for polls. A lot of us are committed to going already. If you guys up there want to organise something, get on with it and be sharp about it! We need to make sure cars can be accommodated, will be secure and the routes will be good. Throw in a decent hotel and good food and you'll be alright. Arse around and people will get disinterested very quickly - talk is cheap, action takes a bit more effort. Branners has already spent a lot of time and taken a great deal of effort organising the current routes and event - will take something special to move us away from it.

tony tt Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The route that's already in place is all there's time for. Possibly next year a run up the west coast for those who are interested in a longer trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners has already spent a lot of time and taken a great deal of effort organising the current routes and event - will take something special to move us away from it. Just leave as is then. Talk may be cheap, but to take action I need more details. Can't go sorting stuff out without numbers etc. How can I go and try and get discounts on hotels and restaurants and make sure there is enough room for everyone if I don't know how much room I need? What is the point if I don't even know who is interested in going further north? Nevermind, as it is gonna cause a load of ball ache just leave it for another time. I'm sure Branners has done another sterling job and looking forward to this. If you lot fancy heading up north again I will help out and find you some cracking routes. At the end of the day it doesn't matter where it is. It is a get together to remember a friend of this site who is sadly no longer with us. So lets get on with it and get the party started.

johnny g Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It's only 150 miles for me to Dumfries, I might head over the A1, via Leeds, and pick up the convoy near Scotch Corner, assuming it goes that way. Makes it 235 miles and bit more of a scenic route for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 cant wait for this event now +1 after the Anniversary meet, I am well excited about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Im planning on picking this up on Monday and working out the hotels. Might need a local to give some guidelines on whats safe and whats not south of Glasgow. Might still bump the route round a bit and do Glasgow to south of Edinburgh, but having left time short I may not have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sadly I shall no longer be taking part in this great event to mark the passing of a friend. Instead I shall have my own personal tribute in the Cathedral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Just working out hotels and routes for this folks. Friday 4th would simply be a drive up to the hotel for those who live far away, Saturday 5th would be the driving day ending up at a hotel for the evening and then Sunday 6th everybody drives back home.

AJI Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Sounds like an interesting plan. I've not been on any meet ups this year due to lack of free time, actually my Supra has only done a few hundred miles this summer If there is a google route plan for this event then I could see if I could make it. Need to give the Sup a good run out before winter sets in. I have done a couple of driving holidays in jockland and I have to say that the roads north of Glasgow going past Loch Lomond and northwards are fantastic. Going deep in to the highlands would actually be a very long journey just for a weekend (even if the roads and scenery are great - and they truly are), but the route to Oban is a good scenic route with a picturesque destination that possibly isn't 'too far' ?

SPG Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Guys can we have a rough idea on the numbers of members hoping to attend this, hotels are all but booked, routes are planned but numbers would help the process. There have been major setbacks but hopefully we can still make some sort of event happen for such a special club member. Hopefully with the numbers we can have something in stone for this weekend. Thanks in advance chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Guys I was hoping to get up for this, but am going to have to give it a miss now! Wife has made feeble excuses about baby sitters and go sitters! Wasn't quite sure what w happening with it as the thread had gone quiet.

Scott Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Would postponing it for a couple of weeks make any difference to you guys? Really want to try and pull this one out of the ashes if at all possible, Sunny is on the case rallying troops via FB. I had the opinion that it may be a little too late for the current schedule but that if it was put back a little it may allow for a bit more flexibility for people?

SPG Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks Scott I reckon this idea of postponing could well work dependant on the schedules of the people who may attend, it would certainly give us a more precise picture of the event from start to finish. My only concerns are for the people who have already taken leave for this event, but I'm sure we will be able to find out once everyone replies to this thread. I will PM you my number Scott, or via FB, hopefully you have Whatsapp and I can add you into the discussion group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
