The pick-up locations and times will be:
This should let us catch the 10:15 am ferry or the later one @ 11.00 am.
Returning home on Saturday evening, the bus will leave Wemyss Bay @ 8.00 pm PROMPT, so the latest ferry you need to be on leaves Rothesay @ 7.00 pm. The earlier one leaves @ 6.15 pm.
If anything happens and you have to call off, please let Elaine Jamieson know by phoning or texting 07951 960469.
The next social event on the club’s calendar is Rothesay, on Saturday 19 August.
As in previous years, the club are paying for the bus, however, unlike previous years, a £10 (£5 kids) refundable deposit will be required to be paid before names are confirmed.
Deposits will be returned on the day. We have introduced this policy to try to prevent a number of cancellations in the last few days leading up to the trip.
Deposits and names can be given to Elaine on any club night.
Pick up times and locations will be confirmed next week but are likely to be Wishaw Sports Centre, approx 8.15 am and Boathouse Strathclyde Park approx 8.30 am. This event is for club members, friends and family.
Pick up times have been arranged as follows:
We are aiming for 10.16 am Ferry at Wemyss Bay.
Any last minute call offs etc should text or phone Elaine 07951 960469
The club is running a bus to the Bute Highland Games for a club day out on Saturday 20th August. There is the 10K Road Race (not part of the championship) for those who want to compete and there are various other track races available for all age groups.
The bus is open to members, family and friends. The bus will be free, although a small deposit may be required to secure a seat, this is due to the large number of late call offs in recent years. Folk will pay for the ferry from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay themselves.
What we need at this stage is a note of the numbers who will be requiring the bus. Elaine Jamieson has once again kindly offered to organise the bus. If you would like a seat(s) please reply to the post on Facebook, speak to Elaine directly, or text her on 07951 960 469. Please spread the word.
More details about pick up points, times, and the return journey will be published a bit nearer the time.
The bus going to Rothesay on Saturday will pick up at Wishaw Sports Centre car park at 8.00 am and the Boathouse, Strathclyde Park at 8.20 am. This should get us to Wemyss Bay for the 10.15 am ferry.
Returning on Saturday evening, the bus will leave Wemyss Bay at approx 7.40 pm (or shortly after the arrival of the 7.00 pm ferry). Ferries fill up quickly, so if you intend holding off for the 7.00 ferry, please make sure you are in the queue in plenty of time.
The bus to the Bute Highland Games on Saturday 22 August is now full and we have a waiting list so it’s even more important that if you are calling off, or your numbers go down, you let Elaine know as soon as possible.
The only changes to the list of names that was published last week are:
We’ve had a tremendous response this year for the bus to and from the Highland Games so Elaine has put together a list of the names and seats required so far. If your name is not on the list, or your numbers have changed in anyway, please let Elaine know (via one of the methods below) immediately as we need to finalise the size of bus very soon.
