Scotland: June 2010 Scottish Section Meeting

[DuncVolvoTurbo]

Well it is time again to announce another meeting of the Scottish section. This time, like the last, it will be another new venue for the VOC, but I do hope that it goes down as well as Arbroath did last month.

The meet will be held on Sunday 27th June 2010 at The Falkirk Wheel, Lime Road, Tamfourhill, FK1 4RS at 1pm.

I think that this is a good location as it is southern enough for the southern members, but not too far away for everyone else. There is also plenty to do at this location including:

Interactive Exhibition and Viewing Gallery
The Falkirk Wheel Café
The Falkirk Wheel Shop
Picnic Area and Playpark
Educational Basin Trail
Antonine Wall (a world heritage site)
Tourist Information Centre
Canal Walk and Cycle Paths
Ronald Rae Sculpture Trail
& of course The Falkirk Wheel itself.

......for anyone that wants to bring the family, or for anyone that doesn't want to stand about talking Volvo (I can't see why you wouldn't though, lol).

I hope that all the regulars come along, and with a new meet, hopefully we will get some new members that we can convert to regulars too.

Thanks in advance,

Duncan.

Cheers Duncan,
Glad to see you are keeping the flag flying for the Scottish Section, nothing personal, but I am unable to attend this meeting due to that bad old four letter word.......work, that is the main reason why I had to stand down from the position, a lot of extra weekend work now, gone are the days of every second weekend off.
Anyway I hope you have a good turnout at the Falkirk Wheel, and I will catch up sometime soon hopefully.

Kevin.

You'd better turn up then, especially as it is my first official meet as Scottish Secretary!

Should get a good turnout for this one Duncan, and well done on Arbroath it looks like you are the man to take over from kevin who also done a very good job with the meetings will see you on the 27th.

I think you'll find us a good bunch of guys, and it's always good to see some new faces, and new cars to have a gander at!
