Wee Mac SIGN UP 2015/05/(1st->4th) - Selkirk - Back for even more....again.

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, 2013 & 2014 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 2014 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 initial £10 deposit to hold the accommodation. Everyone else will be on the reserve list for Broadmeadows in the order they signed up.

By 6th May 2014 - £10
By 15th October 2014 - a further £20 deposit
By 6th March 2015 - a further £90

Total = £120

At the end of the stay - whatever the final bill add up to divided as fairly as possible between everyone (hopefully around £30)



Until midnight Friday 2nd May I'll give folks who stayed in Broadmeadows (2014) 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.

Once we hit 22 people I'll confirm with the venue.  We've had drop-outs every year so those places will be filled in order of the sign-up list.

The 18 who stayed this year are as follows

Ross (Rosco)
Euan (BravePill)
Dave (DBD)
Dave (Mr Nutt)
Terry Lees (Terry Lees)
Chris (Eddie990)
Rob & Linz & Ewan (RobCat, LittleNinja & LittleRobcatNinja)
Cath (Littlecat) + Owen (DOUBLE)
Paul (Krusty) & Karina (DOUBLE)
Mally(MalcolmDuncan)
Davie (Furball)
Brian M (gixerbri)
Brian R (rosier1uk)
Keith R (fazerfzs600)

Costs - (bit more than this year) I've worked out approximate costs as follows

Big Hoose (3 night stay) will be a cost of approx £120 - we NEED to fill this  (10 spaces)
Rest of Broadmeadows (3 night stay) will be a cost of approx £120 (4 + 4 + 2 = 10 spaces)
There are two additional beds that they can supply for our use and this will be same cost. I've been in them twice and they are well comfy.
We can possibly accommodate a few staying just two nights but need to know this well in advance or it will be full price.

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.

Cost vary but in 2014 the grand total (initial total £100) was about £133.
I'm hoping the grand total will be not much more than £150 for a three night stay - that includes all food and drink - Dinner, bed and breakfast.

It really is a 5 star stay for a 3 star cost

I NEED the first 22 people on the list to confirm and pay a initial deposit £10 PP by Tuesday 6th May 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 2nd May 2015 and one on Sunday 3rd May 2015.
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, require a double or two singles depending on who I can talk into attending.

Bravepill6 (Euan) - Might be my +1 or he might be looking for a ride.
Looking to stay for 3 nights, require a single whether he's beeacthing for Rosco or not.

Cheers
Rosco

Mixed emotions there Rich.

You'll just need to try and make this and/or next years Big Mac instead.

Glad to hear your bike is back up and running.

Cheers
Ross

Ross can you put Karen and I down for the full monty please? Double en suite if that's possible.
Cheers Billy

Hey Ross,

Im in just checked dates and I will be home. I'm not sure if I can make the 3 nights though might need to make a dash on the sunday so is it best to book the 2 or 3 nights? I'm easy either way.

Will be my first wee mac since my first in 2010! Cant wait!

Hi Daz.

That is great you can make it.
Ideally we want to fully fill each apartment for all 3 nights and fully fill one or two apartments for just two night for those that really need it.

I'll put you down as a 2/3 night and we can work it out once all the spaces have been filled (or if the venue are putting pressure on us to confirm)

Cheers
Ross

Cheers Ross,

Sounds good will see what happens if needs be just put me down for 3 and if i have to bail then no worries. Looking forward to it!

Well, after all the fun of Big Mac, it would be rude not to sign up for the diet version.

Ian & Gill for 3 nights (Double if possible).

have fun guys, really sad we cant make it this time, but the change of date means it clashes with another of our regular trips.

Final payment £90 is due in early March.

Still 4 spaces left......could be doing with getting these spaces filled this month.

Any takers???

Cheers
Rosco

whats this, a second date that I am home for! and even more weird is that my boss says cause I didnt drop a bike last year (that she know about!) I can join in the fun. Do I have to make altitude setting changes to the KTM to travel this far South?

Excellent news Atholl - on not dropping a bike and being able to come along.

Only 3 spaces available now (at the main venue)

I might have another person interested, the lad who I encouraged to buy a Thundercat a couple of months ago. Should know in the next few days.

Do I owe you some more money?

Update: He can't make WeeMac, sorry

Nice one Atholl, I will meet up with you enroute, to Roscos house for lunch ( he,s not offered to make lunch yet) but time will tell..

Davie....

Ok - lunch at mine for the hee landers on the way down if you fancy.

Last push to fill the remaining spaces.

Any takers ?!?

Can those of you still to make the final payment please get in touch / pay by tomorrow?

Cheers
Ross

P.S Still a few spaces left.

Can we all assume that the BOS will be up and running, serviced, and in perfect running order for this event, or will you be relying on Mally again? Loves ya really.

It'll be ready for Wee Mac, I'm certain.........

You've been framed

What's the options for that bike in the KTM catalogue?

Bodywork, lights and seat all additional cost. Figured I'd manage without them for now ;-)

The new lightweight version of the adventure!

I can see thunderscania appearing with KTM fairings tywrapped on instead of the usual tywrapped on Yamaha fairings!! It is black and orange after all!!! You should keep that garage more secure when your away oop North!!!

Is this Terry, Christian, Tim & John getting ready for Wee Mac?



Live Fast, Die Old.....
