I'm not in Scotland either but in the north East of England, which isn't far away.
We'd probably be up for a minor meet sometime in the New Year too.

How does this date suit everyone?

Sunday 30 January. 12 noon onwards.  If it's ok let me know, just trying to get a date fixed that suit's everyone.  If all goes well, I may look at having regular meetings on the last Sunday in every month.  How does that sound?

Once i've got this part sorted, I will announce the venue.

Thanx to everyone who turned up to brave the cold!!  It was great to finally meet some you.  

Think we'll plan the next one for some time in March or April, once it starts to get a bit warmer, so time to get the thinking caps on and get motivated.  

Due to geographical layout of Scotland, I relise that some members may be put off by traveling too far, so with that in mind, I would like to have another venue, maybe further North, that way we could alternate between Strathclyde Park, and say, somewhere like Perth or Dundee perhaps???

If you've got any ideas for a suitable venue, then PM me and let me know, i'm open to suggestions :) :)
