Thought I'd start a new thread for this rather than carry all the baggage over from the General Betting Summer Drinks thread. The state of play on that thread was
Hamilton Sunday 18th September
1) Feck N, Eejit
2) The Magician
3) Duncan Disordorli (carrying 10lb overweight)
4) Bayes
5) Stewarty
6+) Several others have put their names forward as possibles and hopefully they'll confirm.
The meeting above that I suggested is a meeting I've always liked as it's the sole flat fixture that day which would normally mean I wouldn't miss much racing by attending. Having said that, I'm doing very little betting just now as I'm working on automation so it wouldn't bother me if the rest of you want to change the date and meeting. The following Scottish fixtures are coming up soon, all this month
Thu 15 Ayr
Fri 16 Ayr
Sat 17 Ayr (Gold Cup)
Sun 18 Hamilton
Mon 19 Hamilton
Wed 21 Perth (jumps)
Thu 22 Perth (jumps)
Sun 25 Musselburgh
Mon 26 Hamilton
Tue 27 Ayr
Hopefully those of you coming from afar are thinking of staying overnight so we can book a hotel and have a good drink and discussion. If you're still thinking of coming then post your meeting preference and whether you'd like to stay the night before or after racing or not at all.
While I'm at it, I was 'talking' with Muqbil and we were thinking a midlands meeting at some point would be a good idea. Muqbil was saying the Wolverhampton hotel is such that you can watch the racing without leaving the bar which is open all night. That sounds like an ideal meeting place imo.

Guys
Maybe the train is the option... 4:30 mostly... no need for the stop start process of planes...
Some of the boys will joinn alond the way.... Bayes and Muqbil I think....
7am train form london... quite manageable, and 11:30 we arrive...

Guys lets Finalise...
I understand a few people might join the train en route from London to (GLASGOW OR EDINBURGH) are we going to endibiurgh...
so them I would favour the train...
07:00 London Kings Cross
11:25 Edinburgh Waverley Train EAST COAST 04h 25
50 quid each way....

Magician,
Contrarian and I are thinking of the following
08:00 London Kings Cross [KGX] Platform 6 Perth [PTH] Platform 5 13:53 (£78.50 first class for internet/ power point for laptop)
I think we'll be a bit knackered getting the 7 train [;)]
coming back:
12:00 Perth [PTH] Platform 5 London Kings Cross [KGX] 17:56 5h 56m (standard at £60.50)
Does that sound acceptable to you (and the others travelling by train), or do you think it's important to get there an hour earlier?

First class (if you want wifi, you have to go first class).

We should probably sort out hotels today as well. I've noticed that a couple of the city centre hotels I originally looked at, are no longer available.
I suggest either the Salutation or the New County Hotel.
I suggest either the Salutation or the New County Hotel.
I've emailed the salutation to see what room availability is like that night contrarian. Will post reply asap.
who is booking tickets,...
can you book mine?
can you book mine?
Feck, new county hotel has £35 per night bed and breakfast deal, which is less than half the other one (at least on internet), I think they're similar quality, so much better value?
Fk, I ask people for hotel info and then as soon as I book I come back here 2 minutes later to find Investor's post. I can cancel but I can see no £35 Investor. It's showing £65 for a single, £110 for a double from this page http://www.newcountyhotel.com/
And the £65 doesn't include B&B at the new county. The Salutation is £52 single, £82 twin if done through http://www.strathmorehotels.com/Salutation+Hotel/Home/ and that includes B&B.
The only reference I can see to £35 B&B at new county is for last minute midweek deals.

Interesting thread guys (I might have joined you, but not into Jumps). Shows how difficult it is to arrange something like this; I admire your tenacity in trying.
I was interested in the comment someone made about leniency with check-in times for domestic flights. We had a wedding in Brighton last weekend, and my mother booked a 6:55 flight (from Mnchester). Says she was there 30mins before, and they had closed the gate and wouldn't let her on the flight. I'd be interested in any comments on this, as it seemed harsh (for a domestic flight) to me!

oh yes, that's what I meant, won't that apply then?

dont need wifi on the way home?

Investor, as a test I put in the dates as today staying till tomorrow and it came up even dearer than £65 so I don't know how you get the £35. Doubt it would be available 9 days in advance on a day Perth racing is on though. If you can get the deal I'll cancel my salutation booking but otherwise I think we should go for the salutation.
Hi lads,
Id get a crack on and book something. Prices are rising, even b and b's in the area are up too a £100. I got my travel lodge rooms for £9. There are still some available in the travelodge 2 miles out of city centre for £29 for a twin, if ure desperate.
cheers
boardroom.
I hope to catch up with u guys during the meeting, any meeting point arranged yet.

Can we have a decision on the hotel gentlemen? If Investor's £35 isn't there I say we should use the Salutation.

Hi,
Sorry, been away from my desk all afternoon.
Magician,
I imagine that I won't feel like doing any serious work on the way back, so won't need wifi.
Feck,
I reckon the Salutation looks fine. Maybe we should all book tomorrow morning.

Hi Contrarian. I was about to advise everyone to book through this link
http://www.strathmorehotels.com/
Salutation+Hotel/Home/
as I did earlier. At that time it was asking for £52 single, £82 twin. I now see that has changed to £85 single, £110 twin. I thought my email requiring about vacant rooms for a party of 10-12 might have secured us an offer of a block booking discount, instead it seems to have put them into rip-off mode. If the rest of you want to change I can cancel my booking.

Feck, I don't mind, fine to just go ahead and book. Do we need to pay over the internet, or can you just book for everyone and we pay when showing up?
Feck
can you book for me... Down pillows only please.

lol @ ferengi hoteliers reading this thread and adjusting their prices accordingly for the position (bed) takers 
When I first read that vis I thought the last word was wetters.
I emailed them last night regarding the price change and received this reply
Thank you for your email.
To explain - our rates change as the availability decreases and it is quite possible that during the day if there has benn heavy demand for a particular date the rates would change as space for bedrooms reduces.
However as you intend to bring a large group to the hotel I would certainly be prepared to offer you the rate quoted at the earlier part of the day.
If you could email me personally with all the names and the bedroom requirements I will arrange for the rooms to be charged at £55.00 a single and £85.00 for a twin. I will also require credit card details to hold the booking or the individual guests can call the hotel with their numbers.
I would also be happy to upgrade your room to VIP status as a gesture of good will.
I do hope this is in order and look forward to hearing from you.

I have booked 5 singles and 2 twins. These are on me but a) I don't expect to have to go to the bar all day and b) if you use any of the extortionate extras or p1ss the bed you have to pay the extra charges yourself in the morning.
Assuming all definite overnighters turn up, me and my mate will take one of the twins and the other will do if Duncan turns up and / or weatherman decides to stay on. Should anyone decide they can't come I can cancel two days in advance without incurring a charge so let me know if possible.

Very good of you, Feck.
I'm sure you will be well looked after :)

Feck..still unsure about being able to attend...would really like to, would be nice to put faces to names.
Best to assume that I WON`T stay over so someone else can fill the room..if I do I`ll make my own arrangements when there.
Hoping to see you all there and the first round of fried Mars bars are on me....

Incidentally Feck..that was really generous of you..many thanks.
Someone like Sporty would have retorted..
" Whit..ye mean he couldnae get us all intae Gleneagles then...?? "
But that would be desperately unfair...I apologise on his behalf...

No worries Duncan. I would've told Sporty you can p1ss two beds in the Salutation for the price of one in the Gleneagles.
We will have to arrange a meeting place in the course nearer the time. If anyone wants to book in to the hotel beforehand tell them you are part of the Eejit party. The receptionist has been informed and will probably mutter the words "more feckers" under their breath.
What coach / seats are the London party travelling in? I am being forced to chose a seat from York
Is it too late to join in? I'm up for a trip to Perth!
I have booked 5 singles and 2 twin.
I can smell a tout.
Sorry, been off the forum for a few days. Defo in for a room at the salutation Feck but struggling for that train Magician as I need Grantham or Newark. Could get to Peterborough or York I guess if you've all booked.

You'd be welcome cliveboy. Are you staying overnight?
As far as I know, everyone is booked onto the Eastcoast 8:00am from London, Bayes. I am jumping on the same train in York @ 09:53.
OK I'm coming- just to confirm is it the 21/22 overnight or 22/23 overnight & I get a room at the Salutation hotel
clive, it's 22/23. Don't worry about the room, I'll take care of it.
Ok, I'll jump on at York too. If you want a lift to York Muqbil, give me a shout.
Sent you a PM with phone number, Bayes.
This is turning into a good few numbers wise, look forward to seeing you all on the 22nd.

Trains and their ticketing in this country is a complete mess...
First class coming back is cheaper than standard coming back.... how is that possible.

Typical nonsensical charging strucuture. Traveling from North London to Gatwick Airport, it's cheaper to get a zone 1-6 travelcard and train ticket from boundary zone 6 to Gatwick, than it is to get a simple single.
And often it's cheaper to get 2 singles than a return, or to get 2 separate tickets from a to b and b to c than directly from a to c.

I've changed the booking to 8 single rooms. The manager wants the names of the people. I only know the names of ann wit, the magician and muqbil (I've booked the three of them in under the names in their email addresses). Could Bayes, Investor, Contrarian and cliveboy p.m. their names.
Sorry been off the forum for a couple of days. Sent you PM Feck with my details.
Thanks all. I've forwarded the names to the hotel manager so just book in under your own name. I've told him I'll be paying for all the rooms but you'll be paying any extras yourselves. Incidentally, the money I'm using to pay the hotel rooms is from a bet the magician laid me a few years ago. We agreed whoever won the bet would fly down to meet the other and buy them a meal and drink. I won the bet but never got round to the meet up so I'm using that money to pay the rooms. I say this because I don't want anyone to feel they've got to reciprocate at any later meet ups.
I take it the tight schedule (and possibility of delays) for the border crossing five makes the hotel before racing an impractical meeting point? That being the case, anyone suggest how we meet up. I could pm you all my mobile if I had one

I would like hotel as a meeting point if it's doable. In case of delays on the train etc. we can call the hotel.

I daresay the railway children would like to drop their stuff off at the hotel first. Looking at the above map the station doesn't seem that far from from the hotel but the racecourse is around 4 miles from the station according to this
http://www.perth-races.co.uk/location.asp
I've got the magician's mobile number (if it still ends 46) so me and my mate (who is not pro) and clive (if he's booking in first) can take off if need be and see you five in there but remember we also have to make arrangements to meet the non-overnighters in the course. I have no knowledge of the course so if someone can suggest somewhere feel free.

Feck, I ended up close to doubling my bank in the the last. That should read, trebled but for this feckin laptop. I only got half matched on purple, however, be grateful for small mercies.
If any of you would like, I'll mark your card for Perth.(at your own risk) on the first day.
Personally, I would have made it the two days, but that's immaterial.
gl all.
PS I presume you will need an i phone to see my selections?

I get in to Perth at 1236 so I will go to hotel first n book in if thats OK. I will be in the Hotel bar at the Salutation till 130ish then I will book a taxi for all that are in the Hotel there up to the races.First race ain;t till 2.10 so that should be plenty of time. Anyone thats going to the hotel I can pm my mobile if you wish.
correct mobile
but if you wear your rangers jumper to the course we will find you

clivey, this might be stating the obvious to some but the queues to get into perth races can be a nightmare, can sometimes take up to an hour from perth, albeit a weekday afternoon shouldn't really be bad. have a good day out chaps, i won't be there but all the track players are in the 2 hospitality suites just behind the betting ring.
OK, I will be getting on the Edinburgh train at 9:53 at York with Muqbil. Could someone save us a couple of seats!
Clive, pm me your mobile.
We still need a meeting place inside the course for the rest of them. Given what the bank man is saying we'd probably be better making the meeting time after the first race to ensure everyone is there.

Ill see you guys in the bar of the sally,as for a meeting place there are quite a few bars on the course some quite large so what about the winning post at the start of the second race.
I am defo going to check in first so if I miss the first race so be it, but a wet thursday in Perth I can't see it being so busy that it will take anymore than 30 mins to travel to the course at Scone. I have been to Perth races before and the course is just outside the town. But I agree having a meeting place in the racecourse would be a good idea
I'll give you a phone once we've booked in clive. PS Weather forecast for Perth Thursday looks good, sunny if a bit windy.
Winning post 10 mins before second race sounds good Grant if Gus, weatherman & boardroom confirm they've got this message or want to put up an alternative.

Feck, just sent you my number by pm should it be required for any reason. Finally all the arrangements are dropping into place, look forward to meeting all new faces tomorrow.
got the message, see you in the Winning Post if i make it, which is slightly in doubt due to an unbreakable appointment in the morning, but i'll be making my own way to the track etc so, hopefully, if i can't make it, no-one except me will be incovenienced!
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, if I don't meet up with anyone before the races I'll be "billy no mates" standing at the winning post 10 minutes before the second race,
Thanks Gin. Just about to set off.
Sorry stewarty, only just seen your post. Doubt I'll be betting much anyway.

The irony of it all. Some chinese bloke 'stole' my RP from my local Pakistani corner shop as I was late getting up today! Anyways, I can't even mark my own card. However, I wouldn't put anybody off having a small bet on Blenheim Brook in the 3.30. (only enough to buy a round)
Best of luck to you all.

Bad luck with that stewarty. Only had one bet all day, 2nd at 6's. Just went through the cards and would probably have won a few quid had I been at home. Must get automated.
Was great to meet you all but I have to apologies for my lack of staying power. I'm just not used to the drink these days. I'm still feeling awfy no weel to the extent I couldn't even be @rsed doing a jackpot. Hope to meet up again in the future.

Gus, weatherman and boardroom, hopefully you didn't turn up rather than you thought the division standing at the winning post looked a bit dodgy
Great day and night Feck - well done on the organisation....
What happens on tour stays on tour, especially as I lost the chess game to inerloper.
but he gave me some AMAZING chat up lines in return, that seemed to work a treat on a student mime at the club we all went to where the average age was 21

Yeah, great couple of days. Thoroughly enjoyed myself!
Thanks Feck for pulling this together. It was good to finally meet you and see some familiar faces once again. Maybe you can be persuaded to cross the border for a future meet up? Thanks guys for excellent company all day, and what a fantastic train journey.
Loved Perth races, would deffo enjoy a nh meeting again, might become a jumping convert!

Will happen Muqbil. Not sure about London though, last time I was down there THEY hung me upside down and disemboweled me.
Hope that jackpot wasn't too sore magician. Strange that baldy didn't choose Haydock. I see George Primarolo is still going on about "gateways" 2 years after telling the Eating Commission they were a couple of weeks away from introducing a new system that would show leg 1 totals.

Well Done Feck for organising this. Great day out. Just about recovered now! Hope we can do it all again sometime.
What time did you get up clive? We were away just after 9:30 and heard you were the last one home from pub.
PS No mysterious debit card deductions for damp mattresses. Well done gentlemen.

got up at 11.15 and managed to get the train on time but only just. Can't remember when I got in but I have a inkblot on my hand saying loft nightclub that won't come off[:o]
Thanks for putting us up Feck.
Happy to say that I woke up dry as a bone (for once).
I wonder what happened to big ("I'm off to get pissed") Grant?

cant handle the booze these days only had one more drink and home.on the couch all day friday
I'm the same Grant. I felt p1ssed by the time we left the course.
I'm having severe connection problems, however did anybody ply Feck with enough alcohol to make him give away his (masonic) ratings? If so, could you please E.Mail me with them at stewartybstillwearingparishboots@AOL.com. All replies will be treated in strictest confidence.
The only revelation I heard was that a certain party was m@sturb@ting to a certain other party's girlfriend on a regular basis. [;)]
And give the pickup lines the GFs party was telling me are sure fire winners - I have not ideas how he got or maintains that GF
sorry, stewarty b, sadly nothing to report. We clearly didn't supply the requisite amount of quality whiskey for Feck to leak any 'secrets' :(
Not sure what Feck is talking about in his last post tbh

Muqbil, had I been there hre would have had 30-40mg of Diazepam added to each drink. He would have sung like a canary. Plus we could have started up our own tipping line.
Maybe next time when he has a 'taster' we can bribe. Or we could go down the 'Russian route' if he proves to be stubborn......

Had I handed over the entire source code for my programme it would still be a waste of time stewarty. Despite the fact I was the one who wrote it I can't even fathom it these days.
What I want to know is why the certain other party's girlfriend wasn't brought up to meet old Feck. What have they heard. [:(]

Feck, I'm sure you're code would have went down well. Preferably in it's entirety.
As for introducing you to other 'girlfriends', even though I'm not a bad looking bloke, (according to my dear old mum) I wouldn't trust you with mrs stew when it comes to showing off wedges. Albeiet those parish boots gave me a good learning curve. But if she was inclined to go for the 'poor' eastenders like yourself, I'd soon be kicked into touch.
PS I shouldn't post hungover.
