Im usually in Glasgow every other weekend but Im having a wee weekend down in Stoek for Alton Towers this weekend with the girlfriend and some mates. Will you be around any weekday atall?
Im pretty sure Jimmy might be up for meeting too.... dont take my word for it though

By the way - could anyone clarify if they are taking a wife/husband or partner to the meetings?
I'd feel bad if I didn't drag my girlfriend along as I'm sure she'd enjoy talking to a whole range of people from all over the world (although I'm sure she's sick of hearing about kilts - my fault!)

Paul,

Bring her. My wife will be tagging along at the pub meetings, though I'm not sure about the Talisker tent on Saturday, and I suspect there will be other significant others as well. In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Great. I was going to anyway but if theres other females there she might start to look forward to it a wee bit! haha

Are you guys talking part in the march/walk on saturday night?
I think I'll be at the sidelines... about to buy our tickets for saturday only. I suspect I'll feel a bit unwell on sunday!

**Sir William** · 15th July 09, 05:42 AM

I'm away in a few hours but I'll be at the Talisker tent on Saturday - and I'll see Alex and Beowulf67 before that.

According to a check with a UK weather site, we're going to have a spot or two of rain most days for a least the next week. Keep your fingers crossed that the rain will give Edinburgh a miss next weekend.

Jock Scot wimped out on me by claiming he had an "accident" and was in hospital. Even had a whole thread or two about it (a very good and almost convincing deception plan) but I know he really didn't want to meet a fellow X-Marker.

(Take care of yourself Jock and don't let the goons catch you. I'll see you the next time I cross the pond.)
