Scottish meet up
 
I think it is about time we arranged another meet up for the Scots say in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen. What about September, either the 8th or
15th?

We're in Oz now, landed yesterday so obvously won't make it ,but for those of you who're thinking about going but not sure about meeting a bunch of strangers you really should go along.

I've been to loads now (all in the UK) and I've met some really lovely people, and made some fantastic new friends by going to meets.

Have a great meet. I've got my first Aussie meet tomorrow night (nothing like taking it easy:D)

Hi everyone

Will wait till a few more folk come on board before deciding where to meet, say give it a few more days. There must be more Scots on here wanting to meet up for a few drinks and a wee chat with other folk in the process of moving to Oz. Come on don't be shy!!;)

Thanks Gill, very true what you are saying. Does not appear to be many Scots on this forum at the moment! Hope you have a great time at your first Aussie meet up.

Can't decide on a location at the moment as everyone seems to be from all over Scotland! Will wait for another couple of days and see what happens. Would anyone be willing to travel and pay hotel accommodation so that we could all meet?
