My wifes family are from that wee island , we used to go there on holiday every year till we moved further across the big pond a few years ago. Miss the tranquilty that the island has especially when I compare it to the vast , busy city that Toronto is.

Beautiful place Barra , although weather can be a bit iffy.

Never had the pleasure of visiting the Outer Hebrides (yet!), but I'll make it one day. Got a mate who lives in Lochmaddy on North Uist, but I've yet to get up there - just see him when he's down in Glasgow. Been to a few islands though, Mull, Iona, Tiree, further up in Orkney and a few others. All are wonderful and have there own individual character.
Oops, getting a bit nostalgic there, sorry for the off-topic reminiscing!
Btw, no such thing as bad weather in these places - just the wrong type of clothing!

Once spotted a wee bit of a car bumper sticking out of the sand on Barra and, after a few hours digging, I found a complete Ford Anglia van!

Buried treasure!

Sailing back from Barra was also the scariest crossing I've ever had in my life. Made the North Sea and the Bay of Biscay seem like millponds!

Sorry. What's this thread about again?

Staying on the off-topic theme :-), and buried treasure. Did you read about that guy with the metal detector who found 4 Iron Age gold bracelets worth £1m. Apparently he only had the detector 1 day, and he found them about 6 steps from his car, when he started treasure hunting. Something really fishy about that...???

Regards, Brian

p.s. hope to have news on the pre-show meet up over the weekend.

The Scottish YES Network gathering will be at the Hilton Grosvenor Hotel at Haymarket, beginning at 4pm until around 6.30/7ish. The Hotel is right next to Haymarket station. (15 minute walk to Usher Hall)
The band have kindly agreed to meet us there. I would expect the band to only be there for an hour or so, but which hour, I don't know. :-)

I have 24 SYN names, and would invite Yesfans to join us. I am happy to call it a SYN / Yesfans gathering. :-)

At the moment - I am working out the cost of a Meeting Room with the Hotel. I am expecting to charge around £6 to cover costs. Kids would be free.

Here are the SYN names. I am publishing these to avoid any duplication, as I know some of them are also on Yesfans.

Brian Neeson 3
Catherine O'Driscoll 2
Adam Kopystynski 2
Spence Allsop 1
Dave Owen 1
Ian Weatherill 1
Hugh Macpherson 1
John Rea 3
Gordon Stevenson 3
Rob Kemp 2?
Declan Logue 2
Hugh McGinnigle 1
John Fearon 2

Please reply on this thread if you would like to join us. I would appreciate if numbers could be closed by Monday, in order to fix things with the Hotel and the band management.

Regards, Brian

**Bluegrunt** · 11-06-2009

Well done Brian!

Malcolm Birkett · 11-06-2009

Fabulous Brian! Thanks so much for organising this.

I will be there, although I may struggle to make the start-time but will do my best!

Looking forward to seeing you and your clan again!

barra1 · 11-06-2009

Fergus

Brian, you are brilliant mate! Looking forward to seeing you and all the rest of 'The Troopers'- I'll be there of course. Is it ok to pay on arrival?

**InverYes** · 11-06-2009

Nice job Brian!

Can you add two places for Howe-d-doody and me?

YesScots · 11-07-2009

Can you add me to the list please Brian?

I'm not going to be able to attend the gig, but I should be able to get over to Haymarket for perhaps an hour.

It's SO infuriating - why does the Hackett gig need to be the same night!!

I'll just need to sort out trains over to Glasgow and get to the Ferry by 8pm...

Ali

Which Roundabout? · 11-07-2009

Could you add the Roundabouts please! That's 2 adults (not necessarily arriving at the same time on the same mode of transport) and one mini roundabout.

Thank you Brian!

VanDerGraaf · 11-08-2009

Can you please add me to the list also?I will be with my girlfriend, my brother and my Rickenbacker-wielding bass playing friend who are all attending the show with me.

Very interesting news this!

Yescelt · 11-09-2009

Venue is picked. Scroll up. :-)
Please let me know today if you can attend.

Regards, Brian
