2009 SRGC Discussion Weekend

[Maggi Young]

That is excellent news, Anthony.....a kind offer.

[Michael J Campbell]

Ryanair has one  flight per day to Edinburgh from Shannon arriving at Edinburgh @ 16-25, Not sure if that will hold until October as Michael O'Leary is a bit temperamental. Could be withdrawn at any time.

[Anthony Darby]

Ideal Michael.

[ashley]

Michael,  If you don't trust Michael O'Leary and can bear the extra hike down here then Aer Arann does flights from Cork to Edinburgh too, arriving around lunchtime Friday & departing Sunday mid-evening.  The present cost for that weekend is around €128.

[Maggi Young]

It seems the hotel for the D/ Weekend has a deal with a local cab company to provide pick-up from the Edinburgh airport for a fixed price  of £25......said company has an 8-seater people carrier, so if a gang of you are coming across, that's not to bad, is it? 

[Michael J Campbell]

Maggi,that sounds like a good deal,but I don't know of anyone else going at the moment.I don't have much contact with the Irish southern group as most of them live in Dublin. Maybe some of the Cork group would be going but I have no contact with them either. 

[Maggi Young]

Ach well, you have Anthony's offer, Michael, and there may be other Irish Forumists/lurkers who may get in touch yet.....

[David Shaw]

Inverness airport is about a 20 minute drive from home and, I think, that a normal taxi fare is now probaly something like £35. £25 for people carrier is a bargain.

[Maggi Young]

Yes, David, and if Folks are flying in from various places.... the Netherlands, for example.... then it might not be too hard to get a full load at  a couple of times! !!

Perhaps a final reminder is in order, Maggi?

PLEASE DO NOT MISS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE AUTUMN - BOOK NOW.   

[JohnnyD]

Better than any rock singer then Cliff?

Johnny is making an allusion to the fact that I have reluctantly donated (to my son) my prized ticket to see Richard Hawley at the Bridgewater Hall on the Friday evening of the conference ... the things we do for our passions!!!  At least I have seen the wonderful Mr Hawley on two previous occasions and will instantly book again if the opportunity arises.
At least I've still got tickets for the equally brilliant Ray LaMontagne on 13th September.

Life as an old rocker ...

[shelagh]

Richard Hawley, Ray LaMontagne,  Brian says they must be two of the newer fellows.  I was going to say WHO? never heard of them! Now Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby, good alpine growers both.

[Anthony Darby]

I prefer Miff Mole.

[Maggi Young]

Richard Hawley, Ray LaMontagne,  Brian says they must be two of the newer fellows.

 Yup, born 1967 and 1973.......



If anyone ( possibly Rodger W  ) tries to sell you tickets for a Miff Mole concert..... then you are  in trouble..... did the man  not die in around 1961?
