Not Long Enough.
After the Union Show is over and done with next weekend I'll talk with them and see what they come up with :) regarding prices and dates.

Hi Puddleduck,
Could you please add us to the provisional list.
We could possibly spend a few weeks up North, based around this Meet.
Thanks,
Viv & Chris

Now following this thread, let me see if I've got this right, some of our wonderful Funsters living in Scotland are trying to get together a "Funsters World Tour of Scotland" with meets following on from one another about every 5 days . Is this for 2016, have I got the general gist of it. I think this would be wonderful and Eddie and I would be really interested.

Yes, you have the gist - really looking forward to this happening. Can you just imagine it - a large convoy of English and Welsh motorhomers gaily weaving from rally to rally across the Scottish countryside :party2:

AHHA, I have missed the gist of this possibly, I was intending to attend at one site only, is that okay or would I be expected to attend the whole rally, impossible to do as I still need to work to survive.
Many thanks,
Norman.

Unless I've been reading this thread wrong - the idea suggested is series of individual rallies that people attend on a one off basis. Or for the "self-unemployed" travel from one rally to the next with the occasional wander off to do your own thing:happy:

Well the Goldwing rally which is held in Kelso some years do a "round the town" parade (when the 2CV rally was here they did the same) .... perhaps we should uphold the tradition!!!! Obviously the police and others would need to know if we did intend to do this.......

I volunteered to organise "A" rally
I volunteered to organise a rally or two but nothing about a tour of Scotland but would be happy for the person who suggested it to organise it if they wish. I just dont have the time to take off weeks on end. Sorrry. I was more thinking of a couple scattered about the year but certainly one to follow on from Kelso.

Thanks Sandra was not sure if I was reading it right thought different funsters around Scotland were organising separate rally's that followed on from one another, but what ever is going is good just was not sure. Thanks for the clarification.

Received an email from the show ground in Dumfries with a price for hire of the field from Friday to Monday, personally I think it's a no go as the price is £2552. There would be room for over 100 vans although I'd doubt we'd get that many, I have emailed them back saying I think it's a bit pricey and wondered if they've made a mistake as I have seen other clubs use the field with around 20 caravans.

Sounds like a rip off to me when you could have the field here at Cressfield for £10 per unit per night.

Not here close to the motorway, but the dark skies are not far away. Was up in the Galloway forest (that's where the Scottish dark skies centre is) earlier this week but it wasn't dark enough or clear enough to see the stars. As this month runs into September and it gets cooler, it will get better closer to the Equinox.

I kind of agree with you keith to a point, as in if 20vans attended your field would be a bargain but if any number over 80 wanted to come then the field would also be a rip off. I have emailed her back asking if they can do it per unit per night.I will let you know the answer.
