I'm digging out my tent just in case!

I'm ok with camping. I've even got a stove!

I will have to buy a tent then.

[uThe Lost Loiners prepare for the Magic Weekend at Murrayfield!![/u

Do we know if there's even camping sites available



I haven't camped out since i was about 17

Apparently there are spaces available on the day at:

Mortonhall Caravan and Camping Park
38 Mortonhall Gate, Frogston Road East
Edinburgh

Just had a call from Herriot Watt Uni and they are hoping to sort out our accommodation after all! They are ringing me tommorrow morning so watch this space!!

(I was quite looking forward to camping mind you!)

Sod em then!

Please god let them sort it out

Let us know tomorrow Harry as I need to book the back up if they don't

Any news?

Aaaarrrrrggghhh I got all excited when I saw the new post and thought it was Harry.

Sooooooo any news?

This isn't Harry either

This is Harry but no news yet. I shall ring again now!

They were trying to get us booked in to the Business School accomodation if there was nothing left on the main campus. This is actually a better location for the city centre so, fingers crossed!

Don't panic. I'm sure it will work out fine!!

Good news chaps!

The lovely Dawn at the university (I honestly don't know whether she is or not!) has told me that they WILL have accommodation for us on the main campus. She will send me confirmation on Monday.

We just need to arrange the transport now!
I have 4 seats in my car (3 passengers) and a [ismall[/i boot. Kevin, are you taking your car and how's your boot space???



Assuming that we have two cars going I estimate that the fuel cost will be £25 per person? The rooms are £33 each B&B. Transport to/from Edinburgh about £10 each per day. Tickets are free. Beer vouchers about £100 each, food about £20!!

Not a bad cost for the weekend!

Shotgun

We're either going in my car or John's who I asked you to book accommodation for (and the ticket), depends on the wife and how much she nags me about me taking the car away for the weekend



Either way i reckon we'll have some boot space if needed although I'm not sure we'd stay all day Sunday...but we can talk about the details Monday.

Top job on the accommodation Harry...I think we all owe you a pint



On a more serious note I refer to the above link and a specific section



Does this mean we're not wearing Loiners shirts? I don't need to raise the fact i don't own a Rhino's shirt

Hopefully we will all have LL shirts, socks n shorts with us but the RFL have said that the clubs will be providing shirts for us. These may be proper shirts or T shirts. I guess that we will just have to see what turns up on the day!

We can have a squad of 12 players but it might mean two teams subbing at half time so that everyone gets a game.



Ricky, I understand from the RFL that the Dragons are short for their team and I therefore assumed that you would be playing for them.

Your obviously welcome to play for the LL though, if you prefer! If anyone else fancies being French for the day they can join the Dragons as well!icon_rolleyes.gif

I suggest that we see who turns up and sort it out then. As long as we have tickets and a bed for the night I'm not really bothered!

I guess you've seen my back seats then!





Looks like loads of room!!

How longs the journey there? LOL

I shall bring my tape measure and those with the shortest legs will draw the short straw!

I don't mind.
