Edinburgh/Lothians next run....suggestions

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 09:06

After last weeks Fish & Chip run to N.Berwick/Dunbar, do we fancy making this a regular thing ?

Not sure if it suits everyone being on a fixed day of every month as some of us work shifts etc (Tam, Mike and a few others no doubt)

So what do you fancy doing ?

Any places people fancy visiting ?

Daytime or evening ?

Weekday or weekend ?

Somewhere within an hours drive from Edinburgh (roughly) otherwise it just turns into a long drive more than a meet.

Suggestions please.

Oh, and without trying to seperate the regions up, i'm sure we'd still be keen on going to meet members in other regions, it's just Edinburgh/Lothians seem to be the only active group amongst us at the moment.

Johnny

I'm ok on any day really does not have to be a friday could be a mid week blast to break up the working week.

Maybe a wee trip to the anstuther fish bar on a saturday or a sunday would be good.

There is so much on edinburgh's door step that you could do anything really.

MudPuppy · 21-05-2008, 10:49

I think it should definitely be a regular thing

Weekends would be best for me as I'm often working away during the week.

As for location, I'm thinking the Borders would be good for the next one, there's nice scenery for photo opportunities, although Fife does have some nice coastal towns we could try out also. Doesn't have to be fish n chips for me, picnics/barbecues good also

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 10:52

Either a saturday or sunday would be good then, your right Kay maybe a picnic or barbie to save on the cost of chips. I can do mainly saturdays and sundays I usually visit my grandad but can work round this if we got a date confirmed then I could do this.

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 10:58

Yep, doesn't have to be chips etc...

I'm more than happy with a salad

Borders sounds good, maybe St Marys Loch for a wee BBQ one saturday then ?

MudPuppy · 21-05-2008, 11:01

Works for me ....

But I'm not eating salad.

You dont need to though !

So...once Mike etc read this, we can pick a date.

Are we thinking a weekend is best then ?

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 11:11

I would guess so just for advance notice the only weekend in June I can't make or the next ones I can think of are:

This weekend coming

Saturday 7th June :As the vRS is getting serviced unless it was after 1pm or I just razz the chatham hire car down there.

27-29th June as away on the briskoda camping trip.

So if we can work round these dates then that would be fantastic.

Davy

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 11:14

I cant do end of June as i'm off on hols too.

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 11:23

either the middle of June or maybe in July would suit only problem we have is people are usually away on their hols from July to say september.

Davy

MudPuppy · 21-05-2008, 11:25

Neither can I.

Or the first weekend of July because my mum's coming up.

Or the 15th June - it's the classic sppedfair at Knockhill and I get in for free.

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 11:30

we are all busy folks

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 11:34

Mcd's drive through tomorrow night then ?

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 11:38

why not I'm free tomorow night, need to get a few things for the weekend but defo free after say 7pm.

Davy

MudPuppy · 21-05-2008, 11:40

I could do that though I have to be up at 5 the next morning

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 12:06

Erm...i was kidding..i'll be out cycling.

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 12:07

oh well, but getting back to the topic in hand think it will be good to do something once a month maybe not all to do with the car through maybe some bowling or a bite to eat in town or the pub.

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 12:10

Could do.

I guess whatever people fancy.

Off topic again...
If you wanted to meet at Mcd's at Seafield tonight, i'll cycle up.

Dmac1969 · 21-05-2008, 12:26

If youre heading down this way , I could probably make it , would be a weekend for me if any distance was involved , as I start work early in the mornings (apart frm this week and next , as im on my spring hols!)

As you can see , the car is fitted with 4 new boots and ready to go lol!

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 12:52

think I'm going to be in the pub the nite, sort of the yellow m at the mo!

Dmac1969 - car is looking good mate.
