    I can come anytime, but don't like late afternoons because of the traffic.
  • Hi guys

    I'm 10 mins away from Straiton. Mondays are good for me, although I do work some. I'm also on holiday for some of September.

    sjprmc01 - I'd be happy to give you a lift :D

    Well could we put all of this together and start suggesting dates ? We need a couple weeks notice for the workers to get time off, so that would make it middle Sept onwards.. any ideas?
  • I've gone through the posts, we need either a weekend or enough notice for a weekday. Not late afternoon and not a Thurs morning or Fri. Sjprmc01 needs it to be after the Sept weekend (I couldn't find out what date that was) and some need to be home for school pick-up.

    So, how about Monday 24th Sept in the morning after school drop off which gives enough time for a chat/food and people who can stay on have plenty of time to go to Costco etc.

    I have just picked this date randomly out of the air so please feel free to suggest alternatives. This feels really unnatural to do this, I am not an organised person at all and don't like suggesting things, so please don't feel like I am being bossy.

    Have just checked, it the 16th and 17th sept the schools are off here so that date suits me fine :)

    But that would mean anything 18th or after is also fine with me (bar a fri)


    Oh, skintscotslass, thanks but I'd feel cheeky taking a lift, lol! I am literally just down from the place (well about half an hr-40mins walk maybe I've not walked it in a long time) and the buses are frequent so I won't have trouble getting there it was the home In time for school pickup I was going to stress about but if the meet is when youngest is in full time I have plenty time!

    I'm off work on 24th September, it's some sort of bank holiday, so that suits me perfectly!
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...
