Room Arrangements and Taxi Marshalls

Evening Ladies,

Not long to go now, the recipe book arrived on Friday which was quite exciting :)

So final arrangements for Saturday...

12noon Ibis South Bridge opens for check-in

2.30pm All meet at Le Monde Hotel for cocktail making (please be mostly ready for the night ahead, there should be time to get changed before the secret surprise but not time to start getting ready at this point, unless you're really quick...)

4pm Leave Le Monde, 10 min walk to Ibis South Bridge

To make it easier for me to make sure I've allocated beds for everyone I've done some suggested room arrangements, obviously you don't have to stick to these but as long as I've got everyone somewhere to sleep all is good...

Nicola & Gemma S
Gillian S & Susan J
Hayley & Kate
The Sheilas
Christine & Cathie
Wilma & Mags
Rachel & Jane
Roisin & Clare
Dawn & Gillian T

5pm Taxis booked for secret surprise (45mins maximum getting ready assuming we finish cocktail making at 4pm on the dot)

Given that there are 20 (possibly slightly tipsy women, depending on how good your cocktail making is) I've roped in some help in the form of the lovely Dawn and Kate who will act as taxi responsibles, the cars are booked with Capital Cars but just to ensure that everyone is in and no-one gets left behind...

Plane, Train or automobile?

Hey Ladies,

The book is currently being published over in Holland at Blurb HQ and should arrive next week :)

In terms of transport to/from Edinburgh here are some options

1. Train

Glasgow  Trains every 15mins from Queen street on Saturday
              Trains every 30mins from Waverly on Sunday
              £25 (two singles)

Perth       One direct train per hour from Perth on Saturday
              Random sporadic train times on Sundays?
              £21.90 (return valid for 1 month)

2. Drive
Potential for grouping together and coming by car, I've used the Omni centre before, it's right in the middle of town (next to the Playhouse) and you can book in advance, it's £17 for 24hrs in a secure car park 

3. Bus
Glasgow    Every 15mins Saturday and Sunday £8 return
Perth        3 buses per hour on Saturday, bit random on Sunday £8 return

4. Plane
Bargain at only £1800 to charter your own plane for 8 people!! (they would even fly from Perth, but only prop plane, the runway is too short for jets, random information for the day...)

What's everyones thoughts?
