Am having a think about a Sandgroper get-together later this year, possibly

September/October.

My thought is to have the thing either at the SS Mess at Stirling or the Naval

Assoc.

Either way i can arrange for a bus tour thru Stirling, so those that have not seen

the place in many years, which will be a few, can have a look at the facilities

these days.

The idea will be for a per head cost, to include food and most drinks etc.

If there is enough interest, i am willing to do some ground work to suss out

the best and cheapest way to go.

Long term notification and planning is the best way to tackle a reunion, so there

will be plenty of notice to gleen numbers and interest.

Figure that Sept/Oct will be nice weather wise, and not in any holiday period.

For those that may require some form of accomodation, i can suss out what

the majority want and get some hopefully good prices.

Keep your eyes on the site later this year for expressions of interest.

I WAS going to mention that Rick, but thought it would be too little notice to arrange

accomodation down there.

I just spent the weekend at Amblin, and the place was pretty full, and the

Australia Day weekend coming up, will be quite full i would think.

Dunno how busy the place is at the end of March, but the best bloke to ask

would be the WA co-ordinator Greg Moffitt.

Think Smiley means more like the type of event i mentioned above, which is

along the lines of the gathering we had at the Esplanade, which was attended

by quite a few Sandgropers AND one half of the Laurel and Hardy webteam. :lol: just :clown: ing around.
