Convoy from Stirling services to thistle run

[N12 JLK]

Hello all just thought I would put a wee post on to see if anyone would like to meet up at the sevices in Stirling for a short run in convoy to the Blair Drummond Safari park for the start of the Thistle run on the 27th of May. Meet at say around 9am for departure 9:30am and it only takes 15 minutes to get to the safari park. That should give us all plenty time to register and have a look at all the mowta's.

1= Lesley, Jason , Kerr
2= Andy & lenore
3= Tony
4= Craig & Jude
5= LowNLoud
6= Colin ( our new regular;))

[vintageb3]

Does anyone know what time the run will start at the Safari Park?

I can't find that information anywhere on the the Mini Clan site.

I'm trying to work out if I can manage to do this run...or not...as i have work latet he night before...

Can anyone help here?

mark

[Craig]

Mark, to answer you question... The last 3 thistle runs I have been involved in some of the organisation and they have normally set off at 11:00hrs. Registration normally opens between 9 and 9:30hrs so it's not too early a start...:D

Remember, it's much better to register before hand on the miniclan.com website as turning up on the day, there may be no space left to go on the run.. ;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

Jason, I got an email from a despairing Euan Frame last night saying he was having trouble posting, and he asked me to let you know he will be joining us at Stirling for the convoy. Could you add him to your list.:D

Seeing as how he asked me to let you know, I call first in line behind him. PLAYMINI!!!!! Yeehhaaaaaaa!:D :D

Cheers,

A.;)

[vintageb3]

Hope this helps some of you...

I wrote an email to the Mini Clan...and was told that the Safari park is open from 9.00am...and the run will leave for Oban around 11.00am.

mark

[AndyP & Lenore]

Cheers Mark. They'll probably open registrations about 9.30 or 10 then, going on past few years.

A.:D

[ELFMAN]

I'm back!!!!!! I was locked out, :( but now I have the key....... I was blind, and now I can see! :eek: Well, I upgraded my Browser........... Thanks Andy for your post on my behalf.

[Mini Ecosse]

Put us down for this please. Stephen & Allyson. :)

[ELFMAN]

I still haven't received my 'Pre-Run' stuff from MiniClan - have Emailed them. I'm def. on the Thistle Run (No. 64). Has anybody else received theirs, and does anybody know the rough FINISHING TIME/DESTINATION - are we just finishing at Oban, or later on? I have to let 'Co-Pilot' Bill know as he has to arrange to pick up his wife later in the evening. Any info gratefully accepted!

[Sweeney]

Is there still vacancies for this run? (not bothered about run pack etc) I may be able to come along :rolleyes:

Euan,

You should get to Oban before 3pm (which is the finish point of the run), finishes normally around 5pm (after the show and shine etc), then the drive home. They normally prefer you to stay to the end, but if you can't I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hope this helps. :D

you would be better to phone the Mini Clan 07887 861543 to check if there is any space, or you could just turn up on the day and people always fail to turn up. :D

[ELFMAN]

Thanks Craig, we can work something out based on that. It was roughly what I thought. See you Sunday.
