Thanks Anne. Yes I have to make a 3 hour ferry crossing and then 55 miles on a bus before i reach Inverness. So any other town further away,would make it difficult to reach. Thought it would be inbetween Aberdeen and Ullapool.

I will check everyday and nudge as you suggested.

thanks again

Florence keep it nudged up, it just needs somebody to spot it to get the ball rolling. Good luck. did you choose Inverness for a reason? Is it the easiest place for you to get to? Maybe another place might be preferable to others up there.

When my English mother came up to visit, I took her to our social club one saturday night also to play bingo. When they shouted"all the 11's legs 11" my dear mother wolf whistled and all eyes fell on her. i said "mother we dont do that up here." Really she replied, "well ive never been to bingo where they dont."
I didnt know where to look and it was a while before i went again. No doubt I was the talk of the village until something better to gossip about came along lol

Would love to visit Inverness again, alas my mobility problems rule that out, have many memories of Inverness and the surrounding area, not least, many years ago, after being signed in as a guest at a local bingo hall, shouting "House" the looks I got from a lot of women in tartan skirts, tweed jackets, and brogue shoes - was scary :-D :-D :-D

Good luck in your efforts arranging a meet Florence <3

Hi would anyone be interested in meeting up in Inverness in 2015?
I have never been to a meet as they are usually too far down south. I know there are a few members from Aberdeen and the surrounds.

If anyone is interested can they PM me and maybe we could decide on a month and then a suitable date. I think it would need to be may onwards though as the winter weather up here means travel can get disrupted.

Look forward to hearing from anyone who wants to come. This does not exclude anyone btw but realise most of you down south wouldnt travel this far up.However if anyone is coming up this way, it would be good to meet you.
