    If you are organising a Scottish meet and give me ample notice I would love to join you (need notice to get cheap train ticket from London). Happy to crash out in hostel dorm, no need for hotel if I can get a cheap hostel. Unless I come with DH in which case Travelodge sounds good. Best time for me would be from mid-October, as I shall have recovered a bit from the expenses of my impending trip to Italy to see family.

    Dragonette, I love crochet and have taught people to do basic stitches before, so we could set up a teach-in!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    I just looked up and the first cheap ticket £17 each way from London is in November, but if I come for a couple of nights and find a decent price for a hostel I could spend a bit more on the train, would have to save very carefully but it could be done!

  • Ooooh all excited , count me in:T.
    Double whammy of learning to crochet, eat cake and meet peeps (okay thats 3 things)
    If choosing Ikea I would also have car so could pick anyone up in town if needed.

    I actually think I'm wrong about that Abdn hotel come to think of it. We got it for 19.00 a night. As its only the 38/39 in total and we are away 2 nights!

    WLL where in West Lothian are you? I'm originally from Livingston!
