A month or so ago we were remembering the big all-day meetup we had in Edinburgh two years ago and there was enthusiasm for doing it again.

Ok - time to get down to some serious planning if it is all to be organised in time foir a Spring Spectacular in April. I shall try to pm everyone who was interested when it was first mentioned, but I hope that there will be others. Last time we had people from the other end of the country, and it was great to see everyone.

Dates first - can I ask you for an idea of when in April you can and particularly when you CANT make it so that I can see what date would suit most people. Is the weekend or a weekday better? Sunday travelling proved tricky last time, but weekdays are not convenient if you are working. There are plenty of places to stay here for anyone who wants to make a city break of it (other halves can join us for lunch if they like)

Venue probably the ROSL www.rosl-edinburgh.org/ subject to availability on our chosen date.

Next - what kind of programme would you like? Last time we had a really good talk about the beaver re-introduction trial (still no decision by Scottish executive on whether that re-introduction is to be made permanent!) and an exhilarating dicsussion on the Scottish Independence referendum, with some Scottish songs to finish. There were other things in reserve, but time ran out. There was coffee and biscuits, and a sit-down lunch.

Baubles and Elegran.....That's really good to know...Thanks!
I'm aware that I can get carried away with my own enthusiasms...which not everyone shares sad
I'd be interested to know how you both get on.
I was interested in the Devolved Elections one too, Baubles...but will be away for a chunk of the course.
Re. the murderer, Elegran....my opinion changed over the 6 weeks....and I was quite surprised at the final vote....'Nuff said/No spoilers grin

Baubles we can compare notes! But not yet - I read and listened to almost all of it, then DS came in, bringing my meal (He's a good lad) and by the time he went away again just now, it had all slipped out of my mind. I shall start again tomorrow and take notes - I did remember something while I was eating that could be a clue - the direction the car was facing - but I am not starting again tonight. I am off to bed. If I forget that detail, I can look back here again for it. Tomorrow is soon enough. We have a week before part two starts, and it will all be there to refer back to.

I must take a look at "The mind is flat". Mine is worse than flat at the moment, concave would be a better description.
