Wee Mac 2013/04/13 Sign Up - Selkirk - Back for more

Hi All

In a bizarre moment of organisation I've provisionally booked Broadmeadows House just outside Selkirk again since Wee Mac 2012 was such a success and their digs were great value, stunning and brought us all together under one roof.

CHECK IT OUT - HERE

In April this year most of us stayed in Broadmeadows and a few stayed at the only other local accommodation which was just down the road (unless you follow Cath back - sorry Cath). If there is over-spill from Broadmeadows then we can certainly use this again.

Read up on WeeMac 2012 HERE

First and foremost we need to make sure we fill the various parts of Broadmeadows House.

The "Big Hoose" (the central part of Broadmeadows) is now complete and it looks stunning.

So here's the deal

The new "Big Hoose" (sleeps 10) is ONLY available Friday 12th April 2013 through Monday (3 nights)
The other parts of the house - Uplands (sleeps 4) East Lawn (sleeps 4) and West Lawn (sleeps 2) (now also available Friday 12th April 2013 through Monday (3 nights)

Some rooms are doubles only, some are SuperKing with the option to split into singles (twin room) and some are dedicated twin rooms so the singles will need to share.

If we want the "Big Hoose" and I think we do, then we need to fill it. As stated previously this will require a 3 night stay. All other parts of the house can be taken individually (now also 3 night stay)

So what do I need to know - I NEED people to commit on this page to get your name on the priority list

Until midnight tomorrow night I'll give folks who attended last years first dibs on the accommodation but ANYONE can put their name on this sign-up page and from that point you're in the queue.

Costs - I've worked out approximate costs as follows

Big Hoose (3 night stay) will be a total cost of approx £100 (better value ) - we NEED to fill this (10 spaces)
Rest of Broadmeadows (3 night stay) will be a total cost of approx £100 (4 + 4 + 2 = 10 spaces)

This cost will pay for your accommodation and supplies for breakfast.
We then buy supplies for evening meals and drinks add on any shortfall or subtract any overpayment and then split this pro-rata between everyone. Teetotallers will get a reduction. Jaikeys should really pay extra but we normally just milk it don't we Dave.

It really is a 5 star stay for a 2 star cost

I NEED those wishing to attend to pay a deposit £35 PP by Friday 21st September so I'll be looking for people to get their deposits to me before then to REALLY book your place. I'll come back to folks next weekend with an update of what you got in the lucky dip and hopefully it works out that everyone is happy. You normally can't please all the people all the time but we'll do our best.

If you have to cancel you will only lose your deposit if we can't find a replacement.
If lots of people cancel then we've got a problem that will have to be shared - but hopefully that won't happen.

Hopefully everyone will get the right room but there might need to be a bit of jiggery-pokery in the sleeping arrangements if you know what I mean.

SIGNUP
e.g.
Rosco (Ross) + 1
Looking to stay for 3 nights (Big Hoose), require a double or two singles depending on who I can talk into attending.

Bravepill (Euan) - Might be my +1 or he might be looking for a ride.
Looking to stay for 3 nights (Big Hoose), require a single whether he's beeacthing for Rosco or not.




Oops...forgot to say the RIDEOUT is a ONE day event on Saturday 13th April. Those staying the extra night can do whatever they want on the Sunday. If there is enough interest we can have a extra pootle.

Hmm... This extra pootle is looking more and more likely

Might need to rename this Medium Mac.

Will also be looking for volunteer chefs, assistant chefs nearer the time.

Thumbs up from me. Still need to discuss and get a passout but big house for me for the 3 nights. It will only be me tho'.

Gutted we can't make it Ross but if all goes to plan we shall be topping up our suntan on a beach somewhere nice as we will be on honeymoon, have a great time!

Put me and Mrs Radar on the list for the big house, I enjoyed the leper colony last year, but is time for a promotion!

i'd very much like to come, won the local quiz jackpot question tonight (good to know how many sheep populate china as of 2008) so got a stack out pound coins to burn!

Though maybe with the option of the room being a twin (ie that superking room thingymabobajig) just incase rozy isnt too scared by us lot at S&T!

We'll be back and on it like a car bonnet in time to plan & recce BC tho!

Put me down for the 3 nights please Ross.

Hi Ross,

Add me to the list for the 'Big Hoose'. Please also book me the covered, heated bike parking space and Ducati road sweeper to proceed the group and clear all the road salt. I accept I'll have to live with horizontal snow. Oh, and can we have a tracker fitted to Cath?

Every little helps make a perfect ride-out!

Chris

Add me please to the 'Big Hoose' - fancied the owner!
After last year's rideout it's worth taking a gamble on the deposit.

Don't Mind Sharing
Due to Distance will be up on Friday but will not be staying Sunday Night so 2 Nights.
As usual always happy to help out - I can put a Pizza in the Oven!

How come I gave you two options and you managed to pick option 3.

The big hoose is for folks staying (and paying for) 3 nights.
The rest of Broadmeadows house is for 2 night stay.

I had wanted big hoose for just the 2 days but owner said these were the only options available.

If it turns out there is one space left in the Big Hoose we'll try and work something out.

No but she did have nice little pup:

I've emailed this thread to the owner.

If you thought it was a bit frosty last year.....

I'm sure she can't wait to have a little chopper in her kitchen again!

maybe I will thaw her out then. How do you know I have a little chopper! Something you want to tell us Ross? Peeping Tom???

Sounds like an admission then Not sure why you're asking Ross though

Anyway back to the question in hand, afraid this isn't a helpful post - not going to be able to put my name down, sorry :( .

True should have been Chris. Lol

That's trouble with trying to work and post on the forum. Lol
