Ok guys I had a letter back from the owners of the Park today saying we can use it for the BASH next year !
That was all I was really waiting for before confirming it because it all depended on them saying yes.
They don't want paying but they would like a donation to a local charity which we can sort out.
So now thats sorted and I have the first 5 names down for the adjacent B&B I can make some more definite bookings.
I have also asked the hotel if they will provide brekky for anyone who's camping, not just for the ones staying so I'm hoping that they will. If not there is a cafe across the road who I will approach next if the hotel say nay.
I'll have to price up everything and will get bogs and showers sorted and will let you know nearer the time what the damage will be.
I intend to hire a small Marquee to put up right behind the hotel so we can sort out our own entertainment but go and get the ale from next door. That also saves the problem of licences, etc.
Although I'm making the arrangements, I'd like to organise what you guys want in the evening. The only thing I have booked is a local band who play great Scottish stuff and will get you all involved on the dance floor and also singing, god help us !
However do you want anything organised on the Friday nite like the good old Disco with Karaoke or would you rather just have a drink in the pub next door ? I know its a long way up here and some of you may want a quiet night on the Friday, then again !!
Saturdays ride out will be to a distillary along some great roads and for the Sunday I'm hoping to organise a session at the local Adventure Centre with 4x4's, shooting, etc.
A lot of this depends on how much you guys want to pay so once I get a better idea I'll let you know.
So the bottom line is that the BASH is on, so mark it in your diaries, 4th, 5th and 6th September 2009 !!
