any date set yet for the Anglo Scottish meet at Gretna.

Hi Richard,

No actual date set as yet. It is listed in the 2012 proposals thread but has not been discussed further as yet.

Looking at the calendar the most likely date will be Sunday 29th of July although this will have to be agreed with both the venuw at Gretna and the members.

I will make contact with the good people at Gretna to make sure they will be able to accommdate us again, but provisionally I am aiming for the 29th of July.

I'll confirm once I have heard from Gretna and start a new thread.

Cheers,

Okay, I have sent my usual email to ask if the good people at Gretna can accommodate us on the 29th of July and will let everyone know as soon as I hear from them (hopefully tomorrow). :}

It is with regret that I have to advise that I will not be able to make it on the 29th as I will be away with the family from the Saturday so part of me hopes the date doesn't suit Gretna but the 29th is the right date to try for. :(

Cheers,

Well I have had a very nice reply from the lady at Gretna and the 29th is fine.

Is everyone okay for that date or should I ask about the 22nd :}

Hi Paul,

I cannot make the 29th (away on holiday) but that was the original date I suggested and fits with previous years being the last weekend of July.

I feel it would be a little selfish to change the date just to suit me but as the date has not been cast in stone as yet I thought it worth asking :o

All opinions welcome, but having had confirmation the 29th is okay from the site at Gretna I feel we should go with that?

Any thoughts guys?

Derek

Derek I'll be happy to leave it to the locals to make the decision, the 29th is fine by me but so would the 22nd. Mind you it would be a pity if you couldn't make it.

Hopefully I'll be in another MGR by then :shrug:

Thanks all.

Right, I have been in touch with Gretna and the 22nd is also fine.

If everyone is happy with the 22nd of July 2012 I will post up a new thread later to promote the meet and for members to register their interest.

Thanks for the support so far everyone. :}
