He has spoken with the general manager of Hunting Tower or whatever its called and the guy has said that he is willing to put aside 60 car parking spaces as well as giving us one of the function suites free of charge and put on tea's and coffee for £2.50 per head.

It also sit on 4 acres of woodland so should be cool for Photos.

I say meet at Wheel Inn and then head off to this venue for the photos.

 

Tis very posh looking,so must be on best behavior Lol

What you suggesting that we don`t hang around at Wheel Inn?

Only that Tommy has booked 40 seats inside

If we ain`t eating there we best cancel them and arrange to meet somewhere esle

Not very fair all piling into there carpark then doing one 30 mins after

 

Atleast its light till 9pm now a days,so loads of time (for those that don`t have to rush off and watch songs of praise)

Thinking about staying there until say 15:30hrs or there abouts and then head off to Hunting Towers.

It all depends on what the team from TBMW mag have in mind also. Don't know what their itinerary is.

What do you think?

Huntingtower must have built a new car park since the last time I stayed there.  It's a nice place but not too plush.

No big deal Gary...just thought I'd use my sweet charm and impress the pants off them. Came across pretty keen the GM did...might have a beemer himself

It just felt like no one was really getting anywhere so enough of this place is pi$$ and so is there rubbish...Action Lads,less talk

No need to say merci buckets...did it so we don't look like bunch of tw*ts

Like Gary said leave about 330pm so we can be organised.

Noone mentioned eating at the hotel..Wheel Inn is fine.

I just want to clarify that £2.50 for teas/coffee are unlimited. I know not everyone will drink them but am sure a small kitty wouldn't go a miss. The private room they have is equipped with sliding doors, hence we can walk in/out, gather outside at our own will.

All this in short notice...

why not make this the meet place? ample parking and tea's N coffee, save's all trying to fit in to a car park that may not be big enough? 

 

PS, anyone going VIA: Stirling Straight's to the meet point in Stirling?

Because  as Pete has pointed out ,it has been arranged to meet at "The wheel inn" & have some lunch there . Booked out places for 40 people to eat ( and more if need be ! ) not right that we book a place & don't turn up !

Agreed. Lets meet at Wheel Inn as planned, have some food, then head off to Hunting Towers for the photos and the coffees/teas. I am sure Total BMW will be happy with this if there are good photo opportunities at Hunting Towers.

A little bird tells me they have a big night out planned on Saturday night, so a late lunch (2pm onwards) probably suits them fine

Well done to Tiko for organising Hunting Towers!

Well done for sourcing  Hunting towers.  Never heard of it before . Is it far from the wheel in or not ? 

Cant wait for this. £2.50 is fine. Hope the weather is nice and sunny though.

LMAO

Do a google search on the Hotel and read some reviews

 

Looks like they are screaming for buisness

Sure its not Faulty Towers Tiko?

 

That aside it look like it has 4 acres of ground,so should find a spot for us all

Think the castle is near by also,so maybe we can get some pics there also

Pete...you plan on sleeping there mate? No ok then.

TBH noone came up with anything constructive...read my earlier post.

All we wanted was somewhere to take pics and this might fit the bill if not well...
