Shame its not the previous Weekend 24th to 26th you could have taken in Volksfling at Biggar, where we may be going to pick up a spare Windscreen for our 1972 VW Type 3 Variant.

Martin and I are heading up to Moffat in the camper this weekend and will meet with George @NLS14M . We will try to get a place booked for Friday evening meal, if we could have and idea of who would like to join us for a meal would help.
Hopefully will post some enticing photos over the weekend.

When this social was first arranged, it was very much my intention to attend. Having been a student at St Andrews, I was very much looking forward to revisiting old haunts with the A2OC crew. However, I still can't yet drive again following knee surgery, so I shall eagerly await the photos and enjoy the trip vicariously.
I hope you all have a fantastic time.

Tom,
Don`t think you ever told us you had been at St Andrews. We are up there about 3 times a year to visit my Aunty who was born in St Andrews. My Uncle was the only Watchmaker in St Andrews. W. Law.

Agreed; I don't think we've ever covered this topic.
At the time I left, I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the place. It's a beautiful town and I enjoyed my student years there, but (despite its lofty position in UK university league tables) I felt that the quality of teaching, at least in the physics department, was appalling. I really didn't enjoy my degree course, despite my enthusiasm for the subject, because the attitudes of the professors and lecturers stank.
These days, though, I only find enjoyment in visiting the place. All the good memories totally outweigh the bad ones, and walking around St Andrews allows me to relive countless stories (some of which are best not shared in public!).
Best wishes,
Tom
