    Elaine and myself will defintely come Rob .. book us in. It will be a great night. We could bring an acoustic guitar and bohran etc as well for a sing song if you like... no prob. Just let us know.
    Ham ... I know your not fussed on long distance driving (and especially maybe at that time of year) but I just checked out the trains for Elaine and myself, so I checked on yours as well (hopes u don't mind ). You can get to Dumfries in between 4/5 hours from Euston. It will take us about the same time from here.

    Derek,

    Many thanks for taking the trouble on my behalf. I had briefly thought about trains, and the possible rigours of driving to the north at that time of year, but when I started to think about the 'wardrobe' I would need to take with me (it is a Burns Nicht Dinner after all), I realised how much easier it would be just to lay everything out in the back of the car and drive!

    As it happens, I had a call from Derek (DWG69) in Norfolk this morning and we have agreed to travel to Dumfries together, probably sharing the driving as I can easily pick him up enroute. We'll stay at The Ferintosh for two, maybe three, nights sharing a twin room and having time for a little sightseeing too.

    Derek spoke with Robertson today and made the booking arrangements!

    This is certainly turning out to be the Burns Nicht to end all Burns Nichts - will Dumfries ever be the same again, I ask myself!

    My, my. This is turning into quite the party. For those of us who can't attend in January you'd better take MANY pictures and everyone who attends will have to write an essay afterwards.

    Just thought I would refer to this posting from September. Little did we or Dee know... (?)

    Eh, Dee, you know you have landed yourself with an essay?!?!

    Excellent - will be back soon with how many nights. At least Friday and Saturday, but we'll probably extend our stay
