Urgent Appeal - Please read.

[SIII]

This is an urgent appeal to help a bunch of very sad and very desperate people out. Next summer this disperate collection of losers from around the country, will need a short holiday to help them keep sane and resonable people the rest of the year.

They will need help in getting somewhere nice, they will need help getting fed and watered and they will also need some entertaining on one of the days out.

They are a special bunch of people and therefore need a special type of person to look after them. For this help and assistance , you will get the endless paise and thanks of all thet attend and you will be held in a postion of almost worship like status amongst your peers.

Don't worry you are not alone in taking on this challenge. There are those that have stepped up to the plate in the past. They will be on hand to offer help and advice. They will review your plans, offer improvements and generally just be there, as a shoulder to cry on or just a little hug.

So, I am speaking directly to you. This is your time for a shot at greatness. Your chance to stand on the shoulders of giants. Just take that big step for mankind and put yourself up for...........



























Organising this year's GM !!!

No silly voting on venue's or routes or dates. You decide when and where. You decide a route. Myself, Carlesschucca and bibio will be on hand to support you and advise. And our own little ginger cuddles has said he would even be willing to lead the ride, if enough notice of route is given.

Don't let this great institution disappear. Dean, god love him, has decided to take a break from organising. I organised one a few years a go and thourghly enjoyed it. It's hard work, but the end product of bringing the SV community together is worth your efforts.

YOUR SV NEEDS YOU

(Its a picture of Lord Kitchener pointing, if you can't see it !)

62 looks and not a single nibble ??????

Is this cos your sat finding accomodation for us all, before you jump in?

[carelesschucca]

I ain't looked at anything. I'm willing to take a consultancy fee for helping (usually a hug or a pint)

[SIII]

Ditto, payment in kind, will be accepted !!!

[Sir Trev]

I'm hopeless at organising anything but I do wish you lots of luck for a great event. Hope to make it up there for it at some point, work depending.

Gents you've had my suggestion, for a boarder raid and a revised AR14 route

As it stands I'm out for organising this or helping next year. Maybe a full year out for me.

sent with all the fury of a clogged drain!!

A thought http://www.muirkirkcaravansite.co.uk/ no personnel experience.

Happy to help anyway I can.

Anyone want to take this on? I'm about to close the GM Facebook site as I won't be doing it next year. I can re-open if someone takes on the GM and I'll do updates on there for them.

Happy to do whatever I can from down here, which extends to Internet research and phone calls. What I can't do obviously is recce accommodation and routes in person.

Maybe it needs a bit of project management and delegation? A list of everything that needs done and hand out all the jobs to all the volunteers (there's quite a few on this thread). Make it an equal team effort rather than 90% of it falling to one person.

Also why not choose a tourist town with plenty accommodation, like for instance Pitlochry or Aviemore, choose a pub as a meeting point for the evening festivities, then let people find and book thier own accommodation. Everyone that comes to the GM is a grown up, they don't really need a free of charge tour operator.

Then you just need to organise a rideout, or I'll organise it and someone needs to recce it for me.

PS: Lunch stop, either a McDonald's car park or a Tescos car park, and go buy your own.
