Some ASSchatters have begun planning a Scottish meet-up in January. We could move the venue to somewhere more convenient… if a huge contingent came from Birmingham, for example. We thought Scotland would be awesome as the Scottish meet-ups are pretty regular and the ‘scene’ in Edinburgh/Glasgow is worth the trip alone. Plus there are cheap flights here and a pretty high chance of snow… or at least freezing cold rain!
The ‘international’ element is currently being provided by ASSchatters based in The Netherlands and Switzerland. However, if we could get other nations interested in representing, that would be amazingly awesome!
If you came along, you could enjoy: ceilidhing, haggis, whisky, tartan/plaid souvenirs (perhaps enough shirts to rival Harto’s wardrobe), fluffy cows and much, much more!
If you think coming to Scotland to hang out with lovely lady homogays would float your boat, then please join the group! I expect we’d plan most of this via ASSchat, so come along there, too!
Looking forward to meeting all the awesome queermos,
BioGal, x

Howdy However! Bonjour! I don’t know any Francophile antics in Edi/Gla, but I’ll start searching!

Don’t worry about it, I lived in Edinburgh last year, I know the AutoScot bunch, and I don’t need any francophiling as i’m already a sworn Scotophile ;D I hope I can make it!

The First International Meet-Up: January, Scotland, U.K. (probably) 11 years, 6 months agoCan we confirm that January 6 to 9, 2012, are the agreed-upon dates for this meet-up? Those of who have to fly over from The Netherlands etc just want to confirm this so we can begin by booking tickets and hotels, which have climbed in price by increments of €2 – €4 by the end of the week.
Also, for those who know more, could you provide an app…[Read more]

Jan 6th-9th suits me and, unless I hear otherwise, should definitely be the chosen dates.
Hmm, money…
I reckon you could get a decent hotel/hostel for about £50 per night B&B, but you will want to browse Expedia, etc. for that. Maybe there are cheaper places to stay…
Transport… about the cities and between the cities… £20 per day s…[Read more]

Okay, so once I tally that up and take into consideration conversion rates, those of us coming from euro-carrying countries should walk with approximately €270 – €300 for all three days, which would include transport, food, drinks, and excursions. This is if people end up sitting down for every meal and people watching though, so that should be…[Read more]

I book my flights with http://www.skyscanner.net – they seem pretty cheap in general. I think they are also branching into accommodation, too.
I wonder if there is a way to message all the members of the group and get everyone thinking about this…

Cool! Thanks for the question and info.
Just another question arises (to me).. Are we looking at tickets/hotels to edinburgh or glasgow?-
According to me, we should be flying into and staying in Edinburgh, and will probably take a day trip to Glasgow.

This is exactly my plan! If y’all think it a good one!
-
Definitely do. Hehe

Hey Gem,
Travelling up from Newcastle shows dedication! Have you been to Edi/Gla before?
Bx-
Hey
Well Newcastle isn’t really that far from the border but it’s technically a little bit international….Yep I have been to Edi/Gla canny few times, but Glasgow only for the 02 academy really.

The First International Meet-Up: January, Scotland, U.K. (probably) 11 years, 6 months agoVery excited about this! I just moved from Edinburgh to Stirling and I have a feeling I may be the only gay in the village! :-)

Hello I! Or is it lower case L? Anyway…welcome!
Let us know what activities you think will be funnest and we will try to schedule them in!
Bx-
Thank you! Totally easy about the case of the L!
So are you planning one huge meet up or a series of meet-ups? I know Edinburgh really well, so could recommend stuff for there. Glasgow sounds lovely, but the only experience I have of it is running like a crazy person after a taxi that I had left a bag in!
