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

He has two confirmed (Brian R & Keith R (fazerfzs600) ) and one hopeful to confirm soon.
Hopefully know by the weekend.

All going to plan we will be able to refund Martin and Tony their deposits soon.

Cheers
Rosco

Brian M (GixerBri) is bringing Brian R & Keith R (fazerfzs600?) so we still have ONE space left.

It would be great if we can fill that space.....Any takers?

Cheers
Rosco

Very tempted but added it all up and it would cost me with fuel, food & lodging around £300 by the time I am done and the daughter will be off around that time so we maybe going on the Norfolk Broads instead.

As Tony say's, any Newbies this is a great weekend, you couldn't go on a better rideout for place to stay, scenery, company and for the way the actual rideout is run on this forum - drop off system allowing you to ride at your own pace and learn you will learn a lot from a few masters.   

Only 6 weeks to go until we descend on the Big Hoose again, possibly for the last time.....i believe there is still one space left...go on someone take it....i might even bring my tartan trousers again!!!   
Really looking forward to this now!!
