April in Edinburgh

As a fellow Edinburgher let me know if I can be any help in organising this.

I think I shall circulate all those who have "previous engagements" to ask them to doublecheck - particularly those who are the only one who can't make a specific day. Back to the inbox when I have finished my coffee.

Katek It would need to be a gey big wal!

I'll add your name, Sugarpfufffairy

I have a wall planner if you would like it Elegran!!

Gosh Elegran you deserve a medal for organising Aprils conference. What a wonderful and interesting variety of gransnetters all wanting to be there. Good luck in debating the possible dates. if I can be of help to anyone please just let me know.

Can I be a possible too. I have some restrictions re granny responsibilities so would just try to fit in with final date.

Glassortwo (though I know it is really just to make sure that we don't end up holding this "conference" in Princes Street Gardens because I booked the wrong date at the ROSL. Oh no, when we get a date settled I still have to find out whether it is available!)

Are the benches in the gardens comfortable?

elegran 2016 calendar winging to way to you, should arrive Tues/Wed xx

I have downloaded calendar pages for 2016 and printed them out - A4 size with plenty of room for scribbling on. Much better.
(found them here) You click on the image to enlarge and print it)

Sounds far too complicated for me. Bring back paper calendars! Thanks for spending so much time and energy on this Elegran really appreciate all your effort. Good luck.

It may come to that, glass ! First I shall go back to the data and see whether I can make it look different a second third time round.

I thought I was doing so well too - it was my blasted mobile, the only calendar I have so far this year. It shows the dates of three months at a time, below each other with only the first on view until you scroll down and the nmaes of the three across the top. I have not used it before, so assumed that the month on show was the middle one of the three names.

Bah!

elegran I don't envy you the job of sorting that one out maybe a blindfold and a pin

Dunit is hoping to come too.

They have quite a lot of flights - I think you would find it possible. I hope so.

Still hoping. Would like to come and return same day, so dependant on easy jets flights from Bristol.

I have just looked again at my calendar (which has March April May written across the top of the March dates - leading me to think that it was April's dates, and March and May were forward or back one) and see that I have used March dates!

Have redone the correlation - and there are no days at all when everyone can be there together. I am going to bed now and will get up tomorrow and see whether it still says the same.

I've correlated all the possible dates, and when I crossed out the ones that each of the 20 of us couldn't do, there weren't a heck of a lot left.

It has come down to Monday 14th, Friday 18th or Saturday 19th April. Second round of voting now - which of these do we prefer? There shouldn't be a problem with them being unavailable, not when we are starting this early, but I'd like to get them pencilled in with the ROSL. Once I do that I can find out costs and get back to you with that.

I'll PM this to everyone as well as posting it on here.

And now add Largolass - another Fifer.

so add :-

*Ffinnochio
EllenT
Tiredoldwoman
Marmight
Trisher*

And add an "on" to my reply to *FFinnochio"

OOh sorry, ffinnochio. You are my own list.

Reporting me is a bit harsh though!

Twitchy finger and have just reported your last post Elegran . Apologies.

However, you did leave me off the list

Hello, EllenT With you and tiredoldwoman that makes 17.

Would love to join in - I'm in East Lothian and pretty flexible as to dates.
