Looking for a good attendance, since we haven't had a meet for a few months there should be plenty to say. Also, the small matter of the election of the new Secretary.

New members positively encouraged :yeah:
 
I'll be there, hopefully so will a few others.

Up for discussion - bus to Aberdeen on 28th October.
Free up that date in your diary now. :beer:
 
sending my apologies the now. if i'm not working away, i'll be standing at the side of some pitch somewhere in lanarkshire.
 
So, Jimmy & Moray. Any thoughts about running a bus to Aiberdeen?


Date clashes with a long-planned trip to Paris with my girlfriend so can't see it going down too well if I cancelled that in favour of a trip to Pittodrie. It's a no-go for me I'm afraid.

With regard to buses in general, it seemed there was never enough interest last season to cover the cost of a bus. I'm not a big fan of minibus travel (especially to Aberdeen and back) and it's unlikely we'll ever drum up the numbers to fill a coach. Personally I think we should look again at the train travel option. Basically, four people can do the Aberdeen trip for a tenner each:

Also, if anyone fancied making a day of it at a game at Easter Road, four people can get to Edinburgh and back for about 4 each.

I reckon these are more feasible options given the number of branch members likely to be interested.
