Wee Mac SIGN UP 2017 - April 28th -> May 1st - Yarrowford, Selkirk SAT & SUN Rideouts.

Hi All

In a bizarre moment of organisation I've provisionally booked Broadmeadows House in Yarrrowford just outside Selkirk again since Wee Mac 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016 were brilliant and the digs were great value, stunning and gave us a great base.
Selkirk isn't too far away if you want to book your own accommodation - most of dad's army stay here every year.

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.

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 £15 deposit to hold the accommodation. Everyone else will be on the reserve list for Broadmeadows in the order they signed up.

By 17th June 2016 - £15
By 10th October 2016 - a further £15 deposit
By 3rd March 2017 - 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 no more than an extra £30)



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.

Costs - 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.

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.

Cost vary but in 2015 the grand total (initial total £100) was about £147 (we had some empty spaces though)
I'm hoping the grand total will be not more than £150 for a three night stay - that includes all food and drink - Dinner, bed and breakfast and costs for 2016 were very similar.

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 £15 PP by Friday 17th June so I'll be looking for people to get their deposits to me before then to REALLY book your place.
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 29th April 2017 and one on Sunday 30th April 2017.
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.

Very keen on this, just need to 1. Check the Mrs can take the time off work and 2. Get her CBT sorted. Is there a too late cut off date?

Put me down please Ross. If Davie has recovered by then I'll share the same room with him.

Cool - send me £30 for your deposit please Tez.

I've enquired for more space at Beoadmeadows.
Couldn't get them on the phone so waiting for email response.
Hopefully the other two apartments are still available.

Before adding you guys we had 14 staying and space for 16.

Fully booked it would hold 22.

Will let you know what they have available soon.

Cheers
Rosco

Back to see surgeon on Nov 9th, hoping for good scan/xray results and getting the OK to start training and riding again.

There are two apartments left but I can't book them until I get a deposit from at least one other person.
If you are interested please get your deposit in as soon as you can.
