Hi Dave

We are planning to hold the gathering in a playing field in Banff that we sometimes use, but waiting for confirmation that this will be OK on the 1st :wink

Once the venue is confirmed, we will put up more details.

If we can't get confirmation, we'll go for a different venue :wink

Cheers for now
Mike

Hi folks :cool:

It was proving tricky to track down folk due to the weather, to be able to confirm that Banff was available.

So ....... I have booked the playing fields at Methlick :cool:
Methlick should hopefully prove a great venue, there's a shop and pub across the road and unlike most of Aberdeenshire, visitors are welcome and can use the public toilets!

As you come down the road from Oldmeldrum ( having gone past the fishery ) turn left when you reach the Methlick service station T-junction and park anywhere along the main street on the left. The playing fields are on the other side of the road from the Ythanview Hotel, between you and the river Ythan :wink The playing fields do have a small car park, but this is usually pretty busy with folk going to church on a Sunday, so it would perhaps be courteous to not park there.

Let's go for a 10am start and finish at about 3pm :z16

It would be useful if you could reply here to give us an idea of how many folk are coming along, the Outcast Gatherings are very informal and all forum members are welcome to join in the fun!

Best wishes
Mike Barrio

How about the steeple cast and anything else that helps in tight situations.

If anyone wants a lift, I will be travelling up from Dinnet via Kemnay, Inverurie, Oldmeldrum etc. I plant to leave at about 08:40 to get to Methlick for 10.

Cheers

Hmmm, yes, the forecast this morning said "Torrential rain" for Sunday, but it looks like it has changed to "Heavy" now?

Let's keep our fingers crossed, I guess that's all we can do :z6
I can't think of a plan B, any ideas anyone, I guess across the road to the Ythanview for a drink and a blether might be a reasonable plan B :?

I hate to heap on the misery but the forecast for Sunday also mentions the possibility of severe gales.

Fingers crossed, the depression might travel faster than expected and it might blow through early on Saturday night.

In hope

Forecast changed again, now wetter than earlier but with little wind, bring waterproofs and it should be fine  :cool:

Gort a couple of demos lined up, if there is anything that anyone would like covered please let me know, I am sure Magnus will do something too.

Hamish, Hope you been practicing, got the TCR back (Very nicely re built by Rob) and the Outcast line is flying out with it  :grin

Well that was a rather wet trip home, some seriously big puddles ( almost big enough to fish in :z4 ) and flooding!
Was it really raining that much today? :z6

I was soaked and frozen, but really enjoyed my day :z3

Well, my wee Fiat did a meaningful impression of an amphibious assault craft tonight :shock

That was seriously not any fun at all - but that's tempered by the fact had a good time chucking lines and chewing the fat with everyone and a big thanks to Irvine, nice pint  :z18
