Xmarks Burns Supper @ Ferintosh 2007!

[Pour1Malt]

Robertson,

If there is any way I can be there, I will be, but I need to sort out the logistics first as I would probably drive up, and that means overnight stays in each direction, somewhere in middle England, to be thought about.

Then there's accommodation at The Ferintosh, or nearby? How are you fixed in that respect?

aye- ya can certainly book in here...

richt noo we have 5 empty rooms...

David Daglish has already booked the 6th yin....

[Pour1Malt]

Guess what? I'll be there

ya need yin arr twa tickets?

[Derek]

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.

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.

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!

[Hamish]

Thanks for that, Robertson - much appreciated.

I know that Derek (DWG69) has spoken with you and made a booking for the two of us to take one of your twin rooms for two or three nights and, of course, for The Dinner.

Looking forward to this one already!

You guys have NO idea how envious I am. Someday, when my kids are grown and I have money, again, I'm headed to Scotland.

For now, I'll have to console myself by chairing the Burns Nicht here.

[Robin]

I'll arrive friday 26th 15:50 Glasgow (Prestwick) and leave monday 29th 12:05 also Glasgow (Prestwick)....flight booked

I noticed the Dumfries railway station is at crawling distance from Ferintosh Guesthouse...is there a good connection to Glasgow airport?
