A new Scottish get-together in Spring 2022

[Birna Rørslett]

If you could time your arrival at Edinburgh to around 11:00 on 20 May, we could share a car Frank?


My alternate option is Edinburgh on the 21 around 12:00, however i prefer the 20th if possible.

[Frank Fremerey]

I want to make the 20th too and I can drive if I manage to catch a plane to Edinburgh, Birna my dear

[Birna Rørslett]

I can drive too ... however at present I only hold a temporary driving permit as my ordinary driver's license got lost a few days ago. (no foul play or police action, just a mishap).

This means (a) I cannot get a valid copy of my license back before mid April as lost licenses have a 4 week quarantine and (b) I cannot hire a car before that date. Booking air flights is easy however I'll hold on a little longer until you have researched possible flight times.

Edinburgh is the only Scottish airport with regular traffic from Norway thus I prefer going there.

[Bruno Schroder]

I haven’t made my travel arrangements yet. I’m happy to join a car sharing and will try to accommodate the airport accordingly. Last time I joined Rosko in Glasgow but Edinburgh should possible too. I need to check dates with airlines though.

I haven't made my travel arrangements either. So, i'd prefer to share a car, the mini bus was just a proposal to have less drivers and perhaps reduce per person cost a little.

Who else is flying in? Or is it "just" Birna, Frank, Bruno and myself?

For taking holidays off work i prefer to make this a Saturday to Saturday week (21st - 28th).

If Francis is already in the Glasgow area, Both Bruno and i could fly there, rent a car and meet/pick up Francis.

Could that work?

Dave, PLS give us an update of the list of participants.

Here are the facts of our venture, as known on March 23

Accommodation  - Larach Sithe Lodge, Glenelg
Owner                - Alasdair Easton
    "  email          - aimeaston@me.com
Check-in 4pm,    - Sat.May 21
Check-out 10am  - Sat May 28
Cost                   - £130.00 per person
Signed-up          - Birna, Bruno,
                         -who is introducing Karel to NG
                         - Hans
                         - Hugh
                         - Frank
                         - Francis (Rosko)

That's 7 members but not me - sorry again, but I won't be there. The trouble with progressive illnesses - they progress.

[dgpno2]

Just to be clear - those who have decided to attend the Scotland get-together beginning 21st May are -
      - Birna,
      - Bruno, who is introducing Karel to NG
      - Hans
      - Hugh
      - Frank
      - Francis (Rosko)

So those 6 volunteers please be ready to make a payment of £130.00 per person to the owner of the lodge. I am reminding him in a few minutes from now that we need his bank details, because he prefers to be paid by bank transfer. I know we are depending on him just now, to supply those details, but we must make the all transfers by 21st May, at the very latest. When I hear from him I will post his details on the main thread of the topic (like this one) and pm each member, individually.

[Birna Rørslett]

When the payment details are ready, I suggest we agree on a common date to make our payments. For example, 30th April.

I'm planning on arriving in Edinburgh on 20th May, around noon. Frank F hinted he could be there the same day?

I wanted to go to the travel agent today but I did not make it today. I hope tomorrow

[Birna Rørslett]

Awaiting the news, Frank.

I'm OK with that (regardless of the date).

Could that work?

Bruno, Francis, would the above work for you? In due time i´d need to start reserving a flight and we´d also need a rental car.

Arrival EDI 20 May 1150

The idea of synchronising payment is a good one, but the date would have to be 21 May at the latest. That'swhat our agreement from the owner says.
