GBP15.00 sent. Please let me know if there were any fees associated with the transaction - I will reimburse.
I will hire a car whilst I am in Scotland, and I don't mind sharing a room (but not a bed!).

Thanks, Mike - safely received. Don't worry about Paypal fees - if they are at all significant I'm sure the Forum will make up the difference.

Car-sharing (and room-sharing) is something we have several months to sort out. In early 2016 I will start to collect information on which airport (Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen) people intend to arrive at, what time of day, and whether they are intending to rent a car.

I removed the poll btw and locked the other Scotland topic as both didn't serve a purpose any more.

So we're pretty much booked for this NG event, at lot can change in the coming 8 months however so a spot might open up.

The general idea is to organise a NG event twice a year, one week in autumn and one week in spring preferably organised together with a local host. The first two have been planned now but it's a bit early to start planning the autumn 2016 trip, we will probably open up a poll early next year to see where the community would like to go next.
Cheers,
Jan Anne

@Jan Anne: But it would be nice to have an ongoing discussion on possible future VENUES.

Edit by JA: Which is fine of course but not in the Scotland topic so content is removed.

And where do I find the removed content now?

I wrote it down once. Here. Move it to some other place, give me my words back by PM, open a new topic, but do not delete what I wrote. I do not have backup.

Please.

Sorry, you mentioned you popped the question somewhere else and the content of the post looked like a quick and dirty copy and paste action (formatting was all over the place) so I assumed it was a double post from another topic hence I deleted it to keep this topic about the upcoming Scotland trip clean and on topic (already 13 pages to go through).

As we try to refrain from removing content I tried to find the topic you talked about to link to but couldn't find it. In hindsight I should have checked first and split your post into another topic to preserve the content, a rookie mistake from my side and apologies for the inconvenience.
Cheers,
Jan Anne

I just said I proposed the workshop on fotozones / old NG

I wrote this text for the first time. I never copy and paste. I am a writer by profession.

The formatting is caused by me writing most comments on my mobile combined with the fact that this forum
still does not feature a mobile theme. A mere workaround.

13 pages? 4 pages I see.

And received - thanks, Guenther. I have been very impressed with how quickly everyone has paid their deposit.  :)

Scotland is off the map for me - Just ordered a new pair of specs that was the same price as a plane ticket. Priorities.

Sorry to hear that, Elsa - the men in the group are all going to be very disappointed.   :-[  ;D

I can cook ok - not so sure about the nice, young, rich or virile though.
