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

First topic message reminder :

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.

True should have been Chris. Lol

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

Please put me and Angela in for the Friday and the Saturday. I'll forward the details onto the people that came up with us last time... Will send you the deposit through my nonsensical paypal tonight..

Done Ross, deposit for us two paid... Cheers

now i am slightly more sober......my words may make more sense as i read the post this time.
I would like to stay for the 3 nights deal, if there is space

looks like thats me out then if you need deposit that soon,, enjoy and hopefully see you all at bc , with any look

Pete

Ross - I will go for just the rideout with it being so close to home.
More than happy to come along on the recce again if of any use.

Cheers
Billy

Well after being quickly briefed on this, 70 squid is flying digitally over to you Ross.
Ewans paying for it, to get rid of us out of the way. Me thinks he has something planned!

I'm on Bank of Rosco

d'oh, meant can't, and have now read the thread...hahaha to the tracker comments
thats why i need to be in the big house

if its essential to get the deposit in before then let me know and i'll see if i can starve the kids for a few days lol

deleted...ignore

No worries Cath.
I'll trust you. Hope the kids enjoy their dinners.
I'll try and work out the numbers shortly.
Cheers
Rosco

Ross, can you make that 2 of us please, i'd like to bring a 'plus one'

littlecat wrote:Ross, can you make that 2 of us please, i'd like to bring a 'plus one'

No worries. Is that a plus one (double, twin or two singles)?

double would be fine

I am down for a double? I will send a deposit when I get paid if that is ok?

STOP PRESS. Any more interest for Wee Mac 2013 need to know and need deposits asap if you are.

I've sent a PM to those who've still to pay their deposit.

Since just about everyone wanted to stay in the Big Hoose for 3 nights then I've managed to arrange that we can get the other apartments at Broadmeadows for 3 nights too at the same cost. £100 for three nights.

As it stands the first 3 couples (Terry & Bea, Tony & Mandy, Rob & Linz) will be in "The Big Hoose" with the first 4 singles joining them. I know we all wanted to be in the Big Hoose for 3 nights but it was always going to be first come first serve.

The remaining folks will be in the East Lawn (the one with the big living room & fire( ONE Double, and 2 singles (up to 4 singles) ) also for 3 nights.

If we get some more interest then we may try and get Uplands apartment (ONE double and ONE TWIN).

It would be nice if we can fill all apartments and have the place to ourselves.

All accommodation is now for 3 nights and I'm looking for a £35 deposit pp asap - total cost £100. This should cover bed and breakfast costs and contribute to dinner and drinks costs.

The cost is exactly the same for 3 nights in the Big Hoose as 3 nights in the East Lawn (and Uplands should additional numbers merit it)

The Big Hoose communal areas are massive (and it has a large snooker/pool table too) and therefore all evening activities will be in there.

We can probably do breakfast and dinner for everyone there too - all hands on deck.

If you are seriously thinking about this then get your name on the sign up page and your deposit to me asap.

Cheers
Rosco

Updated again.....please read original post.

Broadmeadows is now booked for 18 people for 3 nights (Friday 12th April 2013 for 3 nights)

There is still space available.

Get you name (and deposit) down quick.

Cheers
Rosco

If the last place is still available please put me down for 2 nights, assuming that's what Martin and Ang are in for - riding there and back with them again.

Cheers

Cool Jules.

You've got the last space at Broadmeadows.

22 folks staying there now.

Should there be any more interest then i'll find out about the schoolhouse.
We probably need a few folks staying there to make it financially viable though.

Next nearest staying place is a few miles away in Selkirk I think.

Cheers
Rosco

Hi All.

Heard from Bob and Pete that they are going to sort their own accomodation.

Gary - I realise I've got your deposit but still haven't booked the Schoolhouse.

I NEED at least one preferably two or more people paying their deposit to allow me to book the schoolhouse.

Between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

Options....I can return your deposit, I can hold on to your deposit in the hope someone else signs up soon.

I'm sure Terry Lees would be able to find out Pete and Bobs choice of accomodation and you could stay there. It won't be very close to the rest
Of us though and doubt it will be as cheap....but you never know.

Boing.....anyone else fancy Wee Mac?

Hi Rosco,

Hold on to it for the mo, i'm not missing it so we'll see what happens.

Set a cut off date and let me know, and if nobody else comes forward so be it, i'll just make another rideout.

Gary.

May Yet have a bike by then Ross.

My Dad just gave me his entire Cigarette Card Collection to sell. He collected for a few years and now has 18 Volumes of Complete sets with about 5 more incomplete volumes.

To give you an idea, if you have the right complete set, that one alone could be worth between £2,000 & £4,000!

It's going to take a while to cataloge them as we are talking thousands of cards. Looking up some Dealers to so I can get evaluations.

Fingers crossed & Starting to get a grin on my face.
