Pre- Christmas night out on the 24th November at the Castlecary house hotel as usual meet at 7pm for food at 7:30pm. Ive booked the whole of the snug area which sits 20 people so I would be grateful if we could fill it please. I will have to restrict it to 20 people this time due to limited seating so get your names down quick. the sticky toffee pudding is to die for and their steaks , oh and the fresh made burgers MMMMMMM. Plenty chat and a wee look at the mods on the cars, lets be havin some new faces we wont bite its a great night out.
This is there website which tells you the location and about the hotel. Doesnt give much away about the menu but I've been going for years and the food is brill!!!!. Meet in the carpark at the back of the hotel on the left .

Swingers nite :p;):D

[OBN]

Would it be ok to come along after work?

I know I'll miss the food but would be nice to meet up again.

I'll only be about 20 mins away

[N12 JLK]

Go for it. That would be good.

[OBN]

Excellent, put me down as a late arrival

[ELFMAN]

Jason, put me down for this one please - hopefully I'll be rid of this bleedin' COLD by then!!!!

[OBN]

Can be so bold as to make a suggestion?

OK I will anyway...

Since Spongebob is leaving Menzies on the 23rd would it be possible to dedicate Mini Meat 8 to Mr Spongebob?

Just need to talk him into coming, I for one would like to buy that man/sponge a drink.

[Pink Lady]

Hi, ive not got any mod's on my mini, its just a plain mini cooper, would i still be welcome or should i put xmas baubles on my green mean machine?:I

[Pink Lady]

ps, where exactly is north of cumbernauld, n dont say north of cumbernauld!:D

[N12 JLK]

Of course you are welcome, but be warned you may get the bug.:cool:

North of Cumbernauld is the Cumbernauld slip road after what used to be the Auchinkilns roundabout. The Castlecary is about 2 mins drive from the slip road. Let me know if you are coming along.

PS. Are you related to Fiona McLenaghan:question: She is a girl from my work and is also from Coatbridge:question:

Thats you added Nicola, dead easy to find you canny get lost! follow Angus's directions:)

[N12 JLK]

Nicola come off the A80 signposted for the Castlecary/ cumbernauld just before the Old inns service's B816 and go through the first,second and third roundabouts and the castlecary is around 600 yards down from the third roundabout on your left hand side. I take it you will be coming northbound on the A80 anyway.
A wee piccy for you from multimap to help

Really Apreciate the gesture Brent,But My wee bro is getting married on the 25th and he's doing paintball on the 24th,So its going to be to neat,But Promise to Attend one of the others,But Thanks Very Much

[JCW_GP0128]

hi, not sure if there's any space left (I count 19!) but if there is, would it be possible for me to tag along. I haven't been to any meets before but would like to attend at least one!

ta, Shabaz

[Scottie]

What junction/exit do I need to take of the motorway coming from Stirling/Kincardine direction.

Do I keep to the left hand lane when I join on from the M876 and take the exit on the corner bit before we go down the wee dip before the railway arches/viaduct.?????

[Craig]

middle lane when joining from M876. take first exit after going back to 2 lanes (no haggs junction, next one signposted Allandale, Castlecary just before the Arches..)

At the top of the sliproad, turn right... when you come into Castlecary, it is on your right..:D

[niknax]

hi....sorry im gonna have to back out of this one im afraid, my car is still not here, was planning on it being so....hope thats not scuppered my cred on nms my apologies :I

Nicola, I wouldn't worry about your MINI not being here. Although it's a social evening organised on a MINI site, having/bringing a MINI isn't required. We often take our other car, especially at this time of the year in poor weather etc.

If you still want to go I am sure you will still be welcome no matter what you turn up in.

A.

Glad your coming along see you Friday, sorry I didnt reply before now as Ive had a lot on

[JCW_GP0128]

Thanks. Wasn't sure if you caught my post. Looking forward to seeing whats what on Friday.

[OBN]

Is there anyone going tomorrow, that I can text when I finish work to see if anyone is still there, as I'm not sure what time I'll be finished work, hoping that it'll be around 8.

I don't want to arrive late and everyone else is gone

[Craig]

Brent,

PM'd you my mobile - give me a text and I'll let you know if we are still there.


:D

[OBN]

Thanks craig. I'll text as soon as I know when I'm finishing.

[ELFMAN]

I'm absolutely run off my feet at work just now, Xmas Printing Rush, but will try to get there on time! I have Craig's & Marky C's moby numbers from a previous run, if I get stuck, I'll let you know. Hope I'll be OK though. Work? Work?? Work??? Bah!, and moreover, Humbug!

[Pink Lady]

I everyone,looking forward to tonight, wot time is everyone going at, I'll no doubt need to give myself lots of time as I always get lost whenever i go anywhere..:I

[JCW_GP0128]

I think I'll have to leave just after 6. Traveling from the south side but the traffic can be bad at the kingston bridge. Never know just depends if anyone has been doing any christmas shopping. Oh well, it's a mini adventure anyway! :)

we normally get there for about 7..... have a bit of a natter etc, look at the cars (in the dark!!) and eat about 7:30.. :D

[Pink Lady]

Cool, i'll leave back of six n should get there just before 7, prob via every wrong turn i can take!

[ELFMAN]

Nice to see everybody again. Almost dried out now after the car-park monsoon. MINI enjoyed surfing down the road.... See ya'll on the 29th Dec!

[Scottie]

great to meet up with you all again. However it was just about our last meet. After joing the Motorway and just on it for about 2 seconds a motor not sure of the make but had a green P on the boot came out on to our lane about 6ft in front of us no kidding it is the closest I've had in a long long time the ABS on my Saab worked a treat never saw a nose of a motor dip so much mind you not braked or swerved that hard in a long time although I would like to think being a member of the IAM helped on my defensive manouver but man it was close.

[Crombers]

Good to see old & new faces , sticky toffee pud was/is a gut buster (as if I need any more bustin!!) & cheers to Allan & Fi for ma wee pressie ;):approve:

[Craig]

good to see all the usual faces and a few new ones..

Glad you made it Brent..

Shabaz - nae excuses, get that GP washed and waxed so it is presentable the next time we see it..:D

see some of you at the Xmas lunch, or on the 29th Dec at the Xmas Cracker.:approve:

Great night tonight folks. Like others have said, good to see new faces as well as the regulars.

Shabaz: Nice GP, agree with Craig on the washing etc., but I'm still not sure who buys a £24,000 JCW GP then hangs a pair of fluffy dice from the rear view mirror. <SLAP>;)

[ELFMAN]

Fiona and Allan - glad you got out of that one, otherwise I'd have nobody to banter with over the relative merits of MINIS!

Shabaz - have you heard of the NMS rule that if you don't wash your car, there's a “Lucky Dip” and one of us gets to drive it for a week?

Had a good night last night, sorry to hear about your near miss Fi :disapprove: was there a strange toilet smell in the car when you had to jam the brakes on, swerve and avoid a bash :question::eek::clown:;)

you'd not be far wrong Marky, for Allan.;) the strange thing was I didn't really get a fright I was dumb struck honestly in just how close it all was in all my 26 years of driving I can honestly say it was the closest I've ever come (on a Motorway) but it's over and helps keeping those reaction sharp so all good in the end.:cool:

lol, ok so maybe it needs a wee wash... personally I thought the gods were doing a great job! :D

The dice are the go faster strips! ;)

Had a good time it was interesting to see other mini owners/fanatics! I'll have to get ready for a run open the car up and see if it's worth those pennies.

[ELFMAN]

We always stick to the speed limits you know. How fast you get to the speed limit is another thing...

It'll go faster if you polish it. Marky C's, with the amount of wax on it, has a theoretical top speed of 6,500 MPH.

your local mini dealer has them, or contact our Sponsor Menzies of Stirling for a discount on them..... ;) ask for Chris in parts.

[JCW_GP0128]

Cheers, I'll check it out.
