Nope? Nobody interested? That's no fun!
:(
I know there was an Introduction & Welcome thread in here a while back - but of who's currently reading, who's based in the UK (out of interest)?

I'd love to join you, but a bit too long a haul from Vancouver for a weekend. Hope it goes well.

Well we've got folks coming from The Netherlands, France and Sweden for this one... Canadia's only a little further afield ;)

@jasonbstanding Whatever Canadia is, perhaps it's closer, but you fail to realize the incredible scope of how huge Canada is if you don't know just how far Vancouver is from Scotland. To reiterate: it's far!

@HeartlessNinny It's only an 11 hour flight from Vancouver to Glasgow! And it's even in the same hemisphere.
Come on, stop making mountains out of molehills :)

I thought I'd put this on here, because it seems to be the sort of thing that folk on here will be interested in - last year we put together a weekend of whisky sharing and tasting in Aberfeldy, and it was such a fun thing that we've decided to do it all over again this July, only slightly bigger than last year.
Dramboree is back in 2014!
Dramboree July 4th-6th www.dramboree.co.uk
It's a non-commercial weekend, giving people the chance to share those bottles of whisky which you've bought to have "for the right occasion" but possibly found that occasion never come about yet. We've got tasting workshops lined up, a distillery tour, barbecue dinner, a whisky bottling especially for the event... loads of other stuff going on, and the whole weekend (inc. accommodation and meals) is £190 per head.
We start from Glasgow at 2pm on Friday the 4th, then our Dramboree coach takes us to the ferry port beside Loch Lomond, then we have a ferry cruise (and whisky tasting) across to the site. So all you need to do is get to Glasgow. We'll have you back in Glasgow by 2pm on the Sunday.
For further info & bookings visit the website (www.dramboree.co.uk). Bookings open 10am Sat 1st Feb.
As I said - we're running this event as a group of enthusiasts because it's the kind of thing we thought we'd like to go to; vaguely modelled on the Maltstock experience we had in The Netherlands, but in the UK. It's fun :)
