Before you all go off on your Easter/Wedding trips just wanted to let you know that the following are signed up for the Gathering, near Inverness - from 3 forums:
Thought it was worth giving this a bump back up again. For those who haven't signed up yet - a great time was had by all last year, informal fun and BBQ, you can socialise as much or as little as you like and the surroundings are beautiful. But I have to say the boules matches were quite competetive - must get in to practise for this year.
Margaret - I will remember to bring our big safari room this year so if the weather is less kind than it was last year it will hopefully provide a bit of shelter. Hopefully there will also be someone there who knows how to put it up
We are planning on attending your Highland Gathering on 3rd - 6th June if space is still available.
Thanks Tony
(PS you and Angus will recognise us when you see us - clue is that we are seeing Hilary and John the weekend before in Liverpool!!)
Hi Tony
You're booked in Look forward to seeing you again.
We have vans coming from Holland and Germany as well as Scotland and if it is anything like last year's gathering it should be a good do. I will be posting more details after all these holidays.
All the best to you both
Margaret
PS please pass on our best wishes to John & Hilary when you see them

Thanks, Chris

See you soon

Numbers are rising - but there is plenty more space. With just over 4 weeks to go ............................. plans are coming together:
Friday 3rd June: arrival - anytime. Free tea/coffee in Schoolroom before 5.30pm or in our van after 7pm (may be something stronger by then )
Barbeque/get together in the evening, weather permitting. Bring something to share.
Saturday: Let us know what you want to do (walking, fishing, birdwatching boating etc.) There is a service bus to Inverness or we have the use of the community minibus, again, so if anyone wants to go somewhere, do something – and do not want to move your van - let us know. It only seats 6 plus driver and there will be a charge for the use.
Saturday night barbeque – hope everyone will join in, and perhaps produce something a little unusual. Alternative plans if wet. We have one musician, but if you can play any insturment - bring it with you for a ceilidh
Sunday –for those who want it there will be a trip to Dores Inn on Loch Ness for lunch/drink/nessie spotting. Bus available - there will be a charge.
Sunday evening wind down, for anyone staying until Monday. Suggestions welcome.
The weather has been amazing this last month, so hopefully it will be good in June. But if not we have the offer of a Safari room and if the worst comes to the worst we have inside space in our small cafe.
HELP REQUIRED:
Because we will be working it would be helpful if someone could come either on Thursday or early on Friday morning to help set things up - any volunteers?? Also we need drivers for the mini bus if we want to use it. If you would be happy to drive it (VW mwb) please let me know and PM a copy of your driving licence (both parts). Requirements: UK licence, Min age 21, max points 6.
Look forward to seeing you all

I don't think we'll manage to get up on the Thursday to give you a hand as we'll only just be back from J & H and I suspect the garden may need some urgent attention! However if we make a prompt getaway on the Friday we should be with you late morning to give you any help you require.
I'll be in touch by email to see if there's anything you would like us to bring along.
Looking forward to seeing you again.

Friday's fine, Tony. We are still looking for a bus driver - if there is a demand for use of the community minibus, and looking for more musicians (we have a Dutch piper, and a flautist (spelling?) and a guitaist, and we will need charcoal for the barbeque. Not sure what if any of these you could do?
Any other takers for the Highland gathering out there???? Some of you MUST be in the area in early June, why don't you come along? And there must be others who live within an hour or two of Inverness. I think we only have two representatives from Facts coming, so far - with at the moment 3 other forums represented. I still hope to get more.
A reminder of what is going on - barbeques, ceilidh, trip to Dores Inn on Loch Ness for a spot of monster hunting (or just a quiet drink or meal), walks, birdwatching, boules, and any other entertainment you care to bring along, or organise but most of all it is about meeting others from other fourms - the only meet in the Hghlands for ALL the forums!

It looks as if there are only 2 of you from here - Ardgour and Tonybvi.
4 forums will be represented and I'm hoping for up to 3 vans from each forum - and there is still a chance of one or two from a couple of other forums - so a good cross section. Also a cross section of nationalities including Dutch, probably German and two French students. For music - we have now got three instruments so far and are hoping there may be others, and as for the weather - I have arranged warm sunny weather with enough breeze to keep the midges away
Perhaps you could let me know when you expect to arrive, Chris
The bus is booked for a trip to the Dores Inn on Sunday but we still need a driver! Please let me know if you want to go (will need to book). Depending on numbers and having a volunteer driver (if one of us has to drive, we will have to do an extra journey each way as unfortunately we won’t be able to stay, which would double the cost) the cost will be in the region of £2.50 - £3.00 per person for the bus. Alternatively you can make your own way there. If you want to go in the bus and are willing to drive please let me know asap, so that we can sort out the insurance. Maximum numbers on the bus – 8 including the driver, so book early to avoid disappointment!
For the barbeques – donations of charcoal, and food to share would be good. If you have an exciting recipe save it for Saturday. Friday’s barbeque will be more basic – sausages, burgers, drumsticks etc. There will be some food available in the shop if you forget to bring something suitable but neither we nor the local shop renewed our alcohol licences when the regulations got stricter, so if you want a drink or several you will have to bring it with you.
Tony – I will be PMing you in the next 24 hours or so – when do you set off for the Wirral?
Looking forward to another great weekend, and if you haven't booked yet there is still space
See you there
Margaret
