Can't mis this. Called the hotel this morning. Susan and I are booked!
I would strongly recommend booking now, as when I called I was asked if I was attending with the cycling group or the car group. Rooms may be snapped up quickly so get on the phone!

Hi,
As a resident of Peebles 15 minutes living stagger from the Tontine I will not need accomodation but all being well hope to take part and perhaps join you for a dinner.

Not really convenient being Friday to Monday from a work point of view... unless it were to happen when I was on holiday...  We might try and make a day or maybe Friday to Sunday... I shall investigate. d. |

I'm starting to put together information for the Freedom of Scotland Weekend. Its at an early stage, but I think it will take the form of details for everyone for Day 1 - 3 and other information.
It would be really helpful to know who's who, as not everyone knows everyone and we also have F Register members attending, therefore can everyone PM me with the following details.
1. Name and Partners name (if attending)
2. Car, ie F or TF & special edition? Particular Model?
3. Colour and its proper name?
4. Registration
5. Tontine Hotel? Are you staying at the Hotel? Yes or No.
6. Mobile Number. This is optional, however if you are not booked into the Tontine Hotel, this may be useful to the organisers.
7. E-mail address
It's gonna be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! ;D
Alan,
can you post a this info onto the F Register site and ask them to e-mail me this info at glenn.neilson@sky.com ?

Ian & I have been putting the final routes together for this event and I have to say Ian has done a great job with this. It is invaluable to have someone with local knowledge of the area. We test drove one of the routes last week and it was excellent. So come on those who are dragging their heels, get on the phone and get booked up. This will be a weekend not to be missed!
