Mini Meet & Natter

[Freebyrd]

Anyone interested in a Mini-Meet and Natter in the Edinburgh - East Lothian area? Open to ideas on locations and dates, but for openers, Sunday March 20th or Sunday 27th at Longniddry Inn or North Berwick????

[Graham1961]

Hi Brian...I'm up for that, now i am off March the 20th, so Longniddry or North Berwick would suit, flexible on location.....I'm in.

[Freebyrd]

Thanks Graham, should get a few more I hope

[Brush 1]

Hi i can make the 20th but dare i suggest the car park at the old somnerfield shop at dunbar, its never used so plenty room and not to far from a decent chippy (togi,s)

[Graham1961]

We could have a meal in Longniddry Inn, then a wee drive somewhere, see how things go....

[Freebyrd]

Dundar and Longniddry are fine with me. Hopefully a few more will respond and offer preference for venue. Thanks for ideas guys

[tricia1470]

Longniddry would be good :-) but depending on time Dunbar also, I kow both those areas as used to live in them lol

I have to drop step daughter back in Glenrothes so timing would be everything lol

[Freebyrd]

If everyone is in agreement, 3 pm at Longniddry Inn, Sunday 20th. ;) Only 5 days to go.

[Brush 1]

3pm is ok with me or even earlier if it helps

[Freebyrd]

Any other ideas on time? I chose 3pm in case others had things to do or needed time to travel

[tricia1470]

3pm should be okay with me :-) getting car valetted today so will be all spinky for it

[Freebyrd]

4 Tricia 1470
5 Keiranwood
6 Suzublu (Poss)

[Graham1961]

Hi All....Anytime would suit me, no commitments, so even earlier would be alright..checked Longniddry Inn's opening hours...12.30pm till 7.30pm.

Just as an idea that since evreyone enjoyed the food at the gullane chippy on sunday wouldnt it be good if members from all areas recommended chip shops etc so that when on mini meets we can organise what areas to visit etc, also good if you had a day out with family etc then you would know where 2 get food that recommended by other members

[Brush 1]

Forgot to mention on previous post the 3 best chip shops (in my opinion) in my area (east lothianish) are, gullane, central or togis at dunbar and the bantry (mackies) at eyemouth. i,m sure others will be able to add more to the list but remember its chipys serving good food we,re after not dog food like some seem to serve. cheers

[Freebyrd]

Had a look at possible dates for next Meet, Sunday 24 April, any ideas/comments? Should give us time for ideas on location/chippy. :D :D

All comments, suggestions welcome

[Graham1961]

Just checked my shift pattern, and the the 24th April would be perfect as i am off long weekend........open to suggestions, and flexible on location...I'm in.:D

[Freebyrd]

Dunbar sounds good to me, lots of parking at the harbour or Bellhaven if the weather is good. And a decent chippy:drool4:

[Graham1961]

Dunbar sounds good to me, lots of parking at the harbour or Bellhaven if the weather is good. And a decent chippy:drool4: That sounds good to me, there is a couple of good fish and chip/restaurants and importantly excellent photo oppertunities...Yes that sounds good to me.....:D

[FLYER]

I do believe that good fish n chips is gods gift to the human race , iv,e eaten all over the world and all kinds of food but still i come back to the the haddie and my own favourite COD.
Quality fresh fish in crispy batter drenched in salt n malt vinigerand the chips just slightly crushed so that they absorb the viniger.
Add to that a slice of pan bread with lurpak butter and a huge mug of tetley tea and i,m in heaven ,
mmmmmmmm soon be lunchtime and as it,s tuesday the fish will be fresh .:drool4:

That's a pity Tricia, I think we could organise a few meets on a week day evening if members are interested. Ideas welcome:shrug:. I know a few of the members in theis area work shifts and over weekends (self included). With longer summer evenings just round the corner, evenings may be attractive to some. For the SARR weekend you could always tell your boss you have the flu :confused:

Anyone been to South Queensferry lately? Could be a pleasant place for a meet, along the promenade. Sunday's or weekday evenings. How is it fixed for chippies?:shrug: It's been a while since I have been there (not since the ferries stopped:D). Any info and comments welcome.

I think the last time i was at South Queensferry, my grandfather still had an Austin A40, many many years ago, but Yes i would be up for that, not sure how its fixed for fish and chip shops, but a promenade would be a super place for a photo shoot.

[Brush 1]

As far as i know theres only 2 chipys in sth queensferry but cant remember if there sit in or just take away, but both dont have nearby parking and not near the prom infact nearest is opposite police station. but opposite the prom theres the hawes inn serves food till 9ish and does 3 courses for a tenner

Hi Brian,

Would have loved to make it to this one,but just a wee bit too far for one evening,unless we stayed over in the Hawes Inn,as Jan & I did 24yrs ago,as part of our honeymoon,enroute on tour of the Highlands,in our old subaru,which was new then.
Fabulous place,we even had a four poster bed & champers,oh what memories,my only fear was,if a train came off the bridge,as the hotel is right underneath.

Best Regards.

John.

[Graham1961]

That sounds good to me, evenings or Sunday afternoons I work two Sundays out of three at the moment, but one is a 3.30pm finish, weekday evenings would be no problem at all as the latest i work through the week is 4pm, in fact if i am on weekend, i have days off through the week so i am ok with that:D

It would be good to see you and Jan at one of our meets. It is a bit far for a one day trip I agree. There are a few new hotels in the S Queensferry area, a bit further from the bridge. We might try for a meet a bit further south later in the summer, it's the old problem of getting a date that suites the majority. I will be in the Lakes from 23 May for three days, will be at the Hartlepool meet on Sunday 22 May, staying over and travelling on to Bowness on the Monday. Hope to meet with you there

Hi Brian,

That is an ideal weekend for me as it fits right between my two trips this summer. Any more details on the Moffat Vehicle Show or a link to a website?

Anyone else fancy this?

I can put this on the 2011 meet plans thread Brian if you can get me a contact with the organiser?

Derek

[suzublu]

Wouldn't mind that Moffat meet myself:)

Date: 25/06/2011-26/06/2011 Times:
Car Information: The rally accomodates 800-1000 entries some of which come hundreds of miles to participate. This 2 day event has a drive through the Moffat hills on the Saturday to St. Mary's Loch- 300 cars can participate, leaving the town centre in 15 minute intervals in groups of 60. The show is on Sunday where prizes are given for the best cars.
Event Description: Set in the beautiful Moffat hills, the rally is an incredible place to both exhibit your cherished classic or vintage motor car and a wonderful visitor experience

Do we contact the organisers and try and display our cars as modern classics as we do within the SARR? Or do we simply attend the event as visitors?

[N1&EPR]

Thought my team (Rangers) were unlucky, the amount of chances they managed to create. Also glad that Celtic didn't get the win from a penalty that was from a wrong decision. That man McGregor was on form today. All in all, not the result I'd have liked but arguably fair all round.

Have to say as well, I lost a lot of respect for Neil Lennon from his behaviour at the end, going to the Rangers fans and making the gestures he did. Doesn't really fit the profile of a man supposedly 'under fear of his life'. Wonder if he'll be made to answer for it, or if he is such a hot potato now he can do as he likes and the SFA will just look the other way?

Guess it's all to play for now. As Flyer says, interesting times ahead.

[Freebyrd]

Thanks to Tam and Graham for the meet at S Queensferry. A good afternoon with some interesting vehicles to view, two wheels and four.

30 mins pah !!!!.

On the sunday of the OBAN meet we went to nice hotel and they kept us an hour after our booking time , they were most apologetic but we didn't mind as the shellfish was fantastic.

[FLYER]

BTW it,s advisable if you all want to sit together that a table be booked methinks:D

That of course is assuming you want to eat at the HAWES .
