Edinburgh mid-December meet 2017

soop please do not forget that you will need your passport because of the sheer distance you will be travelling. Sorry, I almost forgot Baggs as well.

All the outfits sound most appropriate. Antlers, tinsel, light up flashing earrings, tiara, pearls, burkas, and don't forget name badges. I'm not too good with remembering names when I've had a drinkie poo Elegran Shall we make our own? Safest methinks.

Charleyg I'm wondering how I shall climb the steps into the bus. My party skirt will need to hitched up before I attempt the task. What with all the passengers watching...I shall not be doing anything too risky. We know most of the drivers. They are used to waiting and doing the crossword whilst I sort out my left leg from my right without tripping over my stick.

Hi Elegran ( and everyone) been looking at this thread longingly for a while and wondering if there's room for one more (not so little) person ? It's okay if not . DH is keen to visit the "C" market. X

Yes, Gillybob of course there is room for another. We'll love to see you. I'll add your name to the list.

Great minds think alike soop I'm off to three GN meet-ups in the next few weeks so to help everybody like myself that can't remember names I've made myself a badge .

Here it is.

Ooh that looks good, Old Goat. That's it, I'm making one too.
Gillybob, the more the merrier! I'm too am hoping for a wee wander round the Chri*** market.
I'm getting quite excited. I have asked DIL for a day off, so that I can come. Fingers crossed.

Thank you marydoll Strangely enough they didn't have any goat stickers at the craft shop so I had to cut down the horns on an antelope instead.

That was indeed very crafty.

Oldantelope doesn't sound as good, somehow.

I'm not doing a name badge. I'd rather remain anonymous and mysterious. (Also I always feel compelled to adopt a false name when forced to wear one!)

But you will be anonymous and mysterious in your burka anyway jane

Thank you Elegran really looking forward to seeing you all.

But my burka has shrunk oldgoat I can't squeeze into it any more. I'm investigating horse blankets and dust sheets though.

This is going to be brilliant! Looking forward to seeing you again, gillybob! ☺️

I've solved the worritsome how to gracefully board the bus wearing a long, figure-hugging skirt. I shall stuff it in a Tesco carrier bag (my son travels the world with his) and do a quick change in the lav. The hotel room where MacSporran and I will be cavorting sleeping at night, won't be available until 3pm. I shall be high jinxing cometh the hour.

oldgoat Love the badge. A work of art.

Thinking cap on. Wondering how to design an arty farty badge.

soop artyfarty is coming to the York meet-up next week.
Do be careful getting changed in the toilet cubicle. Imagine if you accidentally dropped a garment down the pan.

Ooooh didn't realise we needed badges. yikes.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again too Marelli its been ages.

Elegran do I need to forward any money to you? What time are we meeting? x

Sorry gillybob Just my daft idea to make a badge
I'm expecting to be the only person wearing one!

Gillybob No money until the day (unless they suddenly ask me for a deposit, but they have mostly trusted us so far)

Meeting about 12.30.

Brilliant thanks Elegran just working out which train will be best. DH is coming with me (so far anyway) we hope to stay 2 nights and do a bit of sight seeing the next day. Whoooopeeeee

I doubt you will be the only badge wearer oldgoat I just need to think of a suitable theme for mine....
