Ye should be ashamed of yersels.
Oh no I've got some knitting to do.
I'm not going until someone else does.
WIMPS.

Some nice scenary there, wish I could have made it. Oh well, always next time...thanks for trying to arrange a meet

Domino's right, there's no need to post crap like that.

I just got home and logged in to apologise for not making it and explain why but after reading that I will say sorry but I'm not going to bother explaining. I'm sure others have perfectly valid reasons also for not making the meet.

Just on a side note to the above some people don't realise the scope of scotland 1 person might be in glasgow another in dundee or inverness both covered for a scot meet but 4-5 hours drive apart so in midst of present financial restrictions it might not be viable fo people to travel that distance for a chat and drive as much as they would like to.The turnout shouldn't be held against the scots members they just arne't as densely populated as us midlanders or gregsters group and it just isn't practical for some to travel that distance and time

just my opinion :wink:

Here the thing those who said they could an those that said they couldnt big difference. I asked for those who wished to attend to put thier names down well in advance an some did an some didnt add there name but said they could, towards the date i could see little names some let us know they could not attend for reasons which is fine it happens life changes its not compulsery some didnt . Scottish members are spaced out an some are not if it is family then well there little contact :lol:

The idea of the meets is not just about socialising or for the forum its for each other aswell its is nice to meet new people get out the house and do something. Frontera`s breakdown an having a local network is handy rather than a username on a forum. I use and attend same forum as martin aka domino an we have struck a freindship despite him been from edinburgh :lol:

an yes the meets are a bit intimadating at first especialy first time as the people are all different an you would proberly not speak to them in normal life but these forums break down those barriers an i watch people sharing advice, stories and numbers i watch people meeting each other to help fix their cars through getting to know each other at meets on the forum someone said "every acorn etc" The forum domino run has a big list of name`s for meets that start`s to die near the date then people have to pullout for reasons.
The location well it was chosen as it was suppose to be central to every one i never chose it i suggested as it looked better than a carpark in macdonalds an was on the 4x4 format you could do it in a car as its gravel it was a liesure drive, no one said oh its too far yeah i was disappointed on friday as i could see no input from any one, an after the meet there is more response to frenchfarmers comments than there was to my "put your name down " can you confirm your gonna attend?.
It was the first meet an well i tried so the next one i hope more people will show. i have never done or organised a meet before an i saw my mistakes but hey its how you learn. Now stop ranting save your energy for the next meet

You don't need to make up any excuses for yourself, the organisation or the meet at all.

These photos are familiar.............

ach well they so good looking twice wont hurt :oops:

Love the pic's so thank you for sharing. Still a bit annoyed we couldn't make this one, but sure will try the next.

OK so this is the situation so far.
4 deffinates
2 probables
2 maybes

Ive sent an email off to the organiser to ask for a designated area and further details.
I just thought just now, i'd like to throw this open to our friends down south too.
If anyone wishes to attend, please pm me so I have numbers.
Thanks.
PS. Still looking for FOG banners. :wink:
