I would be up for that. Perth is an ideal location centeral for most of us. I also have a game that would fit in well i think. Hope this happens BUSTED.

I’ve been known to cross the pond for a BLAM weekend.

I’d be up for this - Edinburgh based but I’m sure I can find Perth :) Can even put on a game if needed.

Just a quick note to I wouldn’t be able to make either July or November but don’t let that stop you.
cheers

Good show mate! Much appreciated!

Number of days is probably dependant on who comes. If it's only us locals, a single day would be enough. Any interest from our UK cousins or further afield it needs to be worth their valuable time/money.

Location- if we're organising, some place nearer us is better. The fact that we both live equal distance away from Glasgow AND Edinburgh airports anyone flying has 2 choices.

We weren't thinking of booking hotels for people. That would be too much of a financial commitment for us. Imagine a couple of people pulled out, we'd be left with the bill! I'd love to offer that, but I don't have the money I'm afraid. People would have to book their own accommodation, buddy.

Nights(or even days) out could be organised nearer the time or once we've definately got interest.

Dates probably to avoid-

Salute April 18th
Carronade May 9th
Glasgow Games Gathering June 27th
Claymore August 4th(?)

Sounds like a good idea, mate.

Speaking for myself: sure, more than one day would be appreciated but depending on where the venue is, I would not have find it difficult to find other things to do to make the trip worth it.  But where is key, since long transports really cuts into the time you have set aside for leisure.

@Andy: Keep it simple. Find your location and date, check if there is something similar to a travelodge near to the location and post it. Don‘t think and plan to much. All these „if“ will only stop your good idea. My problem as continental European is only the wrong side of the track in Scotland. So I need public transport to avoid driven with car... ;)

I’ll probably come up by car so could do shuttle runs if necessary.

Thanks, a small talk about HSV and Rangers would be great.

James, you are a very nasty boy. Never understood why they let you in in Japan.
