I have provisionally booked the youth hostel, My wife`s and mine !!!!!!!!!!!, for the night of Saturday 19th November 2005. The plan would be a days shoot on the Saturday. Then an evening of comparing images, as well as a few lectures, demos,instructions of PS etc. Hopefully Andy Currie of www.scottishphototours.com will be here and has said he is more than happy to give a talk on photography in Scotland and share his wealth of experience in the proffesional field.

At the moment I would like notes of interest for this and will print out a small leaflet of the hostel and surrounding areas, but for now look at www.syha.org.uk and check out Rowardennan.

It is self catering but I can organize a night at the local hotel for dinner and drinks and get some some scottish music as well(Saturday)

Initially the cost is 350.00, for the hostel only, food at hotel etc extra and indavidualy paid on night, for the whole hostel (75 beds) on the Saturday night, I have also blanked off the 18th, Friday, so people can arrive here then as well to allow an early Saturday start.

So if any one is interested lets start it off and When I have a beeter idea of numbers I will let you know the cost each. I was thinking approx 20.00 per head, for this we need approx 30 persons. I will provide a desktop with PS cs and if folks bring laptops etc along this would be great as well as someone bringing a digital projector as well.

So lets see some interest in a beer filled photo weekend to remember. It is a stunning location.

Dave

PS wifes/partners etc more than welcome as well.

This is open to all members and the chance of roping some English and possibly overseas members would be a great thing to do.
And of course Pete you must need a break sometimes and I am sure we would all like to meet you personaly and buy you a beer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There cannot be such a chance comes about so often for this type of overnight/2day event/meeting.
We are even only a 40 minute drive from both Glasgow and Stirling and a bit over an Hour from Edinburgh.

The price structure would be 350.00 devided by the numbers attending. This has to be paid at least 5 weeks prior to arrival, as it is an SYHA hostel and we only work for them. so the more the cheaper it becomes for the weekend.

Sounds like a great weekend. I'd like to be put down as interested (can't confirm till nearer the time!), particularly as I missed out on the Balmaha meet.

Great all noted.

What I plan is to keep this thread going and in a couple of months will have a leaflet done for this weekend and I`ll get everyone interested to send a letter to the hostel requesting a leaflet. It will contain a booking form with all details of payments etc and then all can send it back no less than 1 month before the weekend with a cheque.

As I said the hostel is booked so even a few last minute folks could still arrive although it is obviously best to know in advance.

Keep it bumped if possible.

I dare say that I could be persuaded Dave.
