Wee Mac 2014/04/(11th->14th) SIGN UP - Selkirk - Back for even more

Hi All

In a bizarre moment of organisation I've provisionally booked Broadmeadows House just outside Selkirk again since Wee Mac 2012 and 2013 were brilliant and the digs were great value, stunning and gave us a great base.

CHECK IT OUT - HERE

In April 2012 most of us stayed in Broadmeadows and a few stayed at the 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.

In April 2013 most of us stayed in Broadmeadows and a few stayed at other accommodation in Selkirk.

Read up on WeeMac 2012 HERE
Read up on WeeMac 2013 HERE

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.

So what do I need to know - I NEED people to commit on this page to get your name on the priority list if you want to stay at Broadmeadows.  The first 22 will (unless I hear otherwise) have their space guaranteed when they pay their deposit. Everyone else will be on the reserve list for Broadmeadows in the order they signed up.

Until midnight Friday 23rd August I'll give folks who stayed in Broadmeadows (2013) 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.

Ross (Rosco)
Euan (BravePill)
Dave (DBD)
Rich (Panzerbuilder)
Dave (Mr Nutt)
Terry Lees (Terry Lees)
Chris (Greencat)
Chris (Eddie990) & Katie (DOUBLE)
Rob & Linz (RobCat & LittleNinja) (DOUBLE)
Martin (Mevsyd)
Cath (Littlecat) + Owen (DOUBLE)
Paul (Krusty) & Karina (DOUBLE)
Mally(MalcolmDuncan)


Costs - (similar to last year) 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)
There are two additional beds that they can supply for our use.

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 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 the first 22 people on the list to confirm and pay a deposit £35 PP by Friday 30th August 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 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.

The RIDEOUT is a TWO day event with one on Saturday 12th and one on Sunday 13th April 2014
Please note that folks who wish to attend the event are welcome to organise their own accommodation.

Will also be looking for volunteer chefs, assistant chefs nearer the time.  Everyone needs to muck in though.

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.


Cheers
Rosco

Moi. Full bifta.

Please put me and Angela down for this one. Preferably in the same room!ll most likely only be for the Feiday and Saturday night depending on work rotas etc.

Please put me and Rob down for the whole weekend aswell (and hopefully we will both be up on a bike without a little passenger)  

Cat and myself

Looking to stay for 3 nights, double (and a birthday cake)

Can we have the West Lawn again please?  

So if your names not down, you're not coming in?  

Thought all accomodation at all rideouts was first come, first served?  

Thats right, penalise us that were slaving away last year in the heat  & swimming in shark infested waters in the Maldives on our honeymoon instead of living it up in Scotland...

Way too early for us to commit yet so I guess we'll just have to take a chance.

Like Ellie says, Its short notice for us with sorting babysitters etc & August is a very financially heavy month for us with holidays & two rideouts to pay for in Sept so I am unable to commit as yet, however saying that I also wouldn't want to be staying away from the main group as that means a taxi ride if you fancy a beer?
I will keep an eye on how things pan out but as much as I enjoyed WeeMac 2012 it looks as though its against us for next year at this point

Aye bung my name down for this, I will try and get the time off work.....

Cheers Davie...............

Oi you two - this is a sign up page not a moaning page

Can't work out if you are signing up or not....I'll PM you.

Cheers
Rosco

Me + 1.

I'd like to come please, I'll share with someone who can put up with me! really enjoy ed this years weekend so would love to come back.

Happy to cook again to

dave

Bit early for me as getting sorted but not that quick enough, will see how the signing up goes,, but i want to commit next year to BC as i have a job to fulfil there as i had to let down again this year !!

Deposit paid by our young boy.

Being as we missed Bishops Castle and Big Mac this year, we are a def for this one.

Like a few I take it, will depend on the school holidays if we have to return home on the Sunday or the Monday.

Rob

until i know what the college holidays are for next year i can,t put my name down for this
i would love to come
but its no use putting my name down just to cross it off in jan
when the holidays are posted up if there are still places left i coming
if any 1 cancels
later pm me & i,l take your place if possible
pete

Pete, i'm not a definite on this one, so i will give you first option on my place, if it's a no goer for me...

Davie

A bit like Pete (and some others above), it's to early for us to commit, and as Pete says "pointless putting our name down" only to be crossed off later.

Me n Bea have tried year on year to get to one of these Mac's, but something always seems to conspire against us.
We too shall look closer the time for what spaces - if any - are left , or go on the reserve list as others have indicated.

So, you can take this as a note of "intent", but not a firm booking  

Cheers
Tel n Bea

cheers davie roll on jan to see holidays lol

Good Friday next year is the 18th/21st Easter Monday. But again, depending on holidays, it looks like we shall be up there late on the Friday no matter what as that might be the date before the half term starts for kids.

Half term in Derbyshire is friday 11th April.

Put us down - possibly won't need the Sunday as per this year's

FAO Krusty / Mevsyd

If you want me to just book the first two nights then I can just book one of the apartments (East Lawn) that has two double rooms. I'm fairly sure this will be fine with the owners.

That we you'd only need to pay for 2 nights. With a possibility of extending another night (assuming no-one is booked in the night after)

Let me know.

Cheers
Rosco

Where do you want the deposits, Ross?

Please put Hilary (backagain) and me down for a double for 3 nights  

We'll be flying into Edinburgh and rent bikes there.

Can you PM me the details of where the deposit should go? Or Paypal an option since bank transfer to UK is expensive?

Nice one Thomas and Hilary  Kinda puts me to shame that I can't 'fly' up on my bike from London.
