Minimeet in St Andrews

Booked up for 1pm on 11th Oct. If it is like last time, wear oilskins, sou-westers and welly boots.

Oooohfeeling very exclusive and cliquey...

And if you’d been on the same train as oldgoat last year, annodomini, you’d likely have smelled them then, too....?!

Ah yes - smokies, fresh from the smokery in Arbroath. I can just smell them now!

Kippers? These are best Arbroath smokies, hot smoked whole haddock, not kippered herring.

And anyway, Oldgoat, you need to get your kippers! ?!

Good for you Elegran get Oldgoat telt

Rubbish, Oldgoat ! Of course you won't do any such thing. You will turn up as planned and so will the rest of us.

When this was first mooted, there was concern that the usual fifteen plus would be rather unwieldy for the venue, so six was suggested, in the knowledge that it might annoy some people to think that it was being limited to "the few" or to some mythical "clique". However, seven is only one more than six. The Tailend won't burst at the seams. You are not to fall on your sword!

Well, I was hoping to come to St.Andrews but as I'm going away a couple of days later I'm willing to give up my place at the table so you have just 6. If there's another meet-up in St.Andrews I'll try to make that instead. Thanks for the invitation anyway Elegran and I'll see most of you in Edinburgh on the 28th.

Perfect. Thanks, Elegran.

I shall book for 1 pm. The Edinburgh train gets in at 1.24 and 12.30 would be a bit pushed.

See you then, I look forward to it.

You`re right Marelli, it was during that holiday x

It'll be great to see you all. That will be seven - one more than the six we first thought was the best for a small place like the Tailend. Better stop there! Any more who want to come, please make up your own party for a separate trip on another day!

So - Thursday 11th October at the Tailend restaurant, St Andrews.

Yes please Elegran count me in - sorry I’ve not seen this thread however Marelli has alerted me to it.

I love the Tail-End in St Andrews. I’ll see you before then though at the lunch in Edinburgh. There’s nothing like being good to oneself why? because we deserve it.

Please add Ina’s name to the list.

callgirl1.....you must’ve gone to the Tailend when you and David had your caravan at Crail. Oh, I wish you could join us, too. Xx

Just seen this thread! I would love to join you on 11 October. Possibly Ina, too - and have messaged Elizabeth1. ☺️

I've heard from Cascat and she will be there on 11th October too.
I'll leave it a short while to see if there are any more to add, then book a table.

I think we will aim for Thursday 11th October then. Cascats has a new grandchild imminent at the moment so we may not hear back from her at once.

That is great, Oldgoat I'll bring clothespegs to hand out in the train.

I can make the meet-up on the 11th October Elegran but not the other date in September.
I will bring an airtight box for the smokies this time.

I so wish I could join you, you`ve just reminded me of our visit to the Tailend a few years ago, the fish and chips were to die for!

You could do a separate sortie, Jane10 I am sure enough people would want to join you.

Sorry, can't do Thursdays. Am feeling jealous though. Had the best ever fish and chips at the Tailend last December.
