I won't attempt to become involved in travel arrangements, except for one thing. When I was first trying to get this organised, I mentioned to two members that I might be able to invite them to stay on the night of 20th May. I'm afraid this offer now has to be withdrawn, but what I CAN do is offer an evening's socialising with other NG members who can make it to Killin on the evening of 20May. - some nice (I hope) food; drinks, talk (lots of that), and boredom such as only a 1500-A2 print-archive can create. (my son spent most of last weekend rubbishing my favourite prints - still, what does he know?)
It's still most of 2 months until the event begins, but time whizzes past when you are doing things you like. The rent - I'm still waiting for the owner to send me his bank details; and corvid is rampant is Scotland - record levels of infection and hospital admission. We must all be tested or self-test during the week before we arrive, and strict anti-virus habits must be followed at all times. The lodge will be deep-cleaned before we arrive, and will be left empty (not in use),the week before our booking. Re the 20th May, at my house. Would any Vegetarian or Vegan please let me know a few days in advance, also anyone with special dietary requirements. Getting there - I will be sending our a series of maps in good time for you to study, before getting behind the wheel for an epic drive thro' bonnie Scotland. The maps will be as follows - from Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow airports to Glenelg (location of the lodge); and a set of maps showing the route from the three airports. to Killin. The maps are ROAD-maps with complete instructions and route-information for a problem-free journey.
Tha that's all I can think of at the moment. Please let me know if you think I've missed thing out.
