Scottish Social/Meet - September 2016

Helix Park at the Kelpies a great venue but not quite finished. No signposting from A9 (we find the best way there from South is to turn off the motorway for the Falkirk Wheel and you see signs to Kelpies from there) Several car parks - need to fix one. The one nearest the Kelpies will be chokka on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

The website says to park at Falkirk Stadium a couple of minutes walk away. Is that the better option? Kelpies car park states 75 spaces so I'd imagine it'll be stowed on a Sunday as you say.

Good numbers for a short notice social. 8 by my count so far.
 
I would love to go to this but I don't finish working until 4pm day so I guess I'll be too late :(
 
Ping me a private message and I'll pass on my number and you can call me before leaving and I'll let you know if we are still there :)
 
Remember there's two car parks at the kelpies. One as you come into the helix park itself - on the left. And another just in front of the kelpies if you keep following the road round from the first car park - 30 seconds apart.

Will it be possible to get pictures of the cars with the kelpies in the background ? That could be a good photo.

I can't remember how much of the kelpie will be in the shot. I pop down with the dogs so I'll take a picture to show you

Last weekend bumpy bump to see if anyone else fancies joining the Scottish Social. 2 pm on 4th September at the Kelpies in Falkirk.

Mr Broons suggestion has been well received indeed with 10 members signed up and maybe 12 cars if Mr Broons brings his ccollection to show off his A2 hoarding habit! !!

Off to throw a bucket of suds over the wee one ( the A2 not one of the children !)

Looking forward to next Sunday.
 
Final bumpity bump. Come and join us at the Kelpies. Meet point at 2pm on Sunday will be posted tomorrow. We have a celebrity guest coming too ...A papaya orange colour.storm

See you there!
 
Thanks Murdo. All are welcome. Let's have a great get together. And yes the CS will be there

Just had a PM from Murdo with regards to parking. So being local can I suggest using the second car park within the helix to get the cars together.

Basically as you come off the bypass and into the helix area itself, as you drive in there is a car park on the left, dismiss that one and follow the road around for a tad further and you will find the second car park. This is where you can potentially get all the a2's together for a shot with the kelpies in the background albeit it might be busy.

Alternatively the Falkirk stadium car park is bigger and it has more chance of accommodating all of the cars for the elusive 'group shot'.

Should be able to make it at 2pm now ! :)

On the bad side, yesterday someone stole one of my centre caps :( perfect timing !

I've got a few spares I will bring one for you. Not OE but you wouldn't know the difference.
