[Mike Barrio]

Hi Dave

We are planning to hold the gathering in a playing field in Banff that we sometimes use, but waiting for confirmation that this will be OK on the 1st

Once the venue is confirmed, we will put up more details.

If we can't get confirmation, we'll go for a different venue

Cheers for now
Mike

Hi folks

It was proving tricky to track down folk due to the weather, to be able to confirm that Banff was available.

So ....... I have booked the playing fields at Methlick
Methlick should hopefully prove a great venue, there's a shop and pub across the road and unlike most of Aberdeenshire, visitors are welcome and can use the public toilets!

As you come down the road from Oldmeldrum ( having gone past the fishery ) turn left when you reach the Methlick service station T-junction and park anywhere along the main street on the left. The playing fields are on the other side of the road from the Ythanview Hotel, between you and the river Ythan The playing fields do have a small car park, but this is usually pretty busy with folk going to church on a Sunday, so it would perhaps be courteous to not park there.

Let's go for a 10am start and finish at about 3pm

It would be useful if you could reply here to give us an idea of how many folk are coming along, the Outcast Gatherings are very informal and all forum members are welcome to join in the fun!

Best wishes
Mike Barrio

Who is coming along:

Magnum Magnus
Ben D
Hamish Young
Mike Barrio
Kevin Muir
Jedi Jim
grhe Paul
Goolager Iain
Hares Lug Irvine

More forum members welcome to come along ....................

Is there any cast, or anything in particular that anybody would like to cover on the day?

Best wishes
Mike

[Irvine Ross]

Mike

How about the steeple cast and anything else that helps in tight situations.

If anyone wants a lift, I will be travelling up from Dinnet via Kemnay, Inverurie, Oldmeldrum etc. I plant to leave at about 08:40 to get to Methlick for 10.

Cheers

Irvine

[Mike Barrio]

Sounds good to me Irvine

Hmmm, who is good at steeple casts etc? We need a volunteer

Mike to we have a plan B coz Sundays weather looks seriously wet?

[Iain Goolager]

Peter

It's puddle casts if wet.

[Mike Barrio]

Mike to we have a plan B coz Sundays weather looks seriously wet?

Hmmm, yes, the forecast this morning said "Torrential rain" for Sunday, but it looks like it has changed to "Heavy" now?

Let's keep our fingers crossed, I guess that's all we can do
I can't think of a plan B, any ideas anyone, I guess across the road to the Ythanview for a drink and a blether might be a reasonable plan B

Best wishes
Mike

[Irvine Ross]

Mike to we have a plan B coz Sundays weather looks seriously wet?

I hate to heap on the misery but the forecast for Sunday also mentions the possibility of severe gales.

Fingers crossed, the depression might travel faster than expected and it might blow through early on Saturday night.

In hope
Irvine

[Ben Dixon]

Forecast changed again, now wetter than earlier but with little wind, bring waterproofs and it should be fine 

Gort a couple of demos lined up, if there is anything that anyone would like covered please let me know, I am sure Magnus will do something too.

Hamish, Hope you been practicing, got the TCR back (Very nicely re built by Rob) and the Outcast line is flying out with it 


Cheers

Practice I'll simply rely on brute force and ignorance as always

[Jim Eddie]

Forecast does not look quite as bad as it did earlier in the week , fingers crossed 
 might still be a trifle damp though.

Well that was a rather wet trip home, some seriously big puddles ( almost big enough to fish in ) and flooding!
Was it really raining that much today?

I was soaked and frozen, but really enjoyed my day
Best wishes
Mike

[Jay Scott]

Yeah me too  nice to put some more names to faces.

Pitty about the weather.... but that's fishing 

Thanks for organising it Mike 

Will post a couple photos soon

[Hamish Young]

Well, my wee Fiat did a meaningful impression of an amphibious assault craft tonight

That was seriously not any fun at all - but that's tempered by the fact had a good time chucking lines and chewing the fat with everyone and a big thanks to Irvine, nice pint
