Hi Ben

I didn't get a chance to measure the hall, but size is approx 4 basketball courts set up side by side and height is good. I'll try to check it out next week.

Maybe you and Peter "rabbitangler" could speak via PMs and come up with a couple of easy games with hoops etc for the day if you like? That might be good fun

Cheers
Mike

Martyn joined up, waiting for approval, but is going to attend also

Hall should be fine as long as Aberdeenshire basketball courts conform to the usual dimensions.

Got this info

Length of a basketball court
94 feet (1128 inches)
Note: Many high school and college courts are 84 feet.

Width of a basketball court
50 feet (600 inches)

Hi Ben

Yes, that would make the hall approx 200 ft long and about 95-100 ft wide

Cheers

By my rough calculation, it should just about be big enough to cast distance diagonally

Hi folks

We have a dozen names confirmed for this already ....... which is perfect for an indoor event

I think we would maybe have space for a couple more folk, if anybody else is keen to come along, but I think it would be sensible to say 16 max

Mike

Hi Mike

I will be there, I will check with Peter to confirm that he can make it.

I will get back to you later today.

Would really have liked to go but unfortunately work commitments prevent me from making it (again)

I'm hoping the next time will be third time lucky. All the best.

Hi Kevin
Welcome to the forum

Yes, I have you and Peter confirmed on the list, as Peter already booked your places. Hope you enjoy it as much as you did in Dunkeld
