FMUKCON 28th March 2015 - Edinburgh

[Diane65]

I've now updated it to allow multiple votes but as MrGlass can't make the 18th April and Yogi can't make 11th April ideally 28th March if most can make it would be perfect as these 2 have been brilliant at both events. Please get voting asap as Andrews says we can then get a better deal on hotels etc (even rent out a country house for the weekend for all of us ).

I see Diane has change the voting mechanism so that we can tick all the days we can make. Thanks Diane!

Yogi, you can tick the other date you can make as well now. Same with the rest of you.

I have been scouting accommodations and I have noticed some of them start peak season charges in April. MArch appears to be a certainty for off peak charges. So it may be worth considering 28th March for our visit in that respect.

The weather maybe kinder to us on the 18th April - just a thought.

and perhaps not....being Scotland it is pretty unpredictable unless you count on rain though April showers come to mind. So don't use weather as a factor when choosing a date.

Ok, have put in all 3 dates as I don't have a preference. MrG, hopefully I will be more mobile for your walks in Edinburgh. Will be looking fforward to seeing the stars through the telescope.

At the moment all three dates are fine by me. 28th March - you will lose an hour on the Sunday morning as that is when the clocks go forward so remember that if booking trains etc.

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

Actually if any if you are keen to see the skies through my telescope, we would have more time if we do it before the clock goes forward as the sun will set an hour earlier. so 28th march will be the ideal date.

Again for your consideration (off peak accomodation charges, and longer viewing of the cosmic wonders)

I feel like a salesman now :)

You've sold it to me so I'm ready to get booking my hotel now Obviously I will be good and wait for the date to be finalised but chomping at the bit to get looking for accommodation (it's the addiction to organising in me coming out - not that it was well hidden anyway).

Thanks to my fabulous friend yogi sorting out my redspottedhanky Grand Prix and Fantasy Football vouchers I now have £28 valid until 2020 so that is more or less my train fare sorted (max I will p*y will be £6 from Manchester to Edinburgh return)

I cannot promote these vouchers enough as I've just done Stafford, got London, Sheffield, Buxton and Glossop all for £6 for 2 people (that is all I have pa*d for all these trips plus thanks to akh43 for giving me some of her vouchers ) so have a trip every second weekend for the next couple of months and there is so much to do for next to nothing. basically get saving them so we can get this trip for the best price ever

[yogi]

You're welcome, don't forget the Redspottedhanky World Cup game, possible £15 of loyalty points up for grabs.

Hurry up only a few days til kick off.

Can...can I get a crash course or links on how to do this hanky thing...i tried figuring out the website but I don't see anything about what you guys were talking...vouchers, fantasy football...?!? i won't ever be as savvy as you guys at this but I feel I should make more effort in getting in the know:).
