Wee Mac 2021 SIGN UP - April 30th -> May 3rd - Selkirk (Rideout over TWO days)

Hi All

In a bizarre moment of organisation I've provisionally booked Broadmeadows House in Yarrrowford just outside Selkirk again since Wee Mac 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019 were brilliant and the digs were great value, stunning and gave us a great base.
2020 - was postponed due the Covid-19 pandemic.

CHECK IT OUT - HERE

Selkirk and Galashiels aren't too far away if you want to book your own accommodation - most of dad's army stay near here every year.

In April 2012 most of us stayed in Broadmeadows and a few stayed at the other local accommodation which was just down the road (unless you follow Cath back - sorry Cath).  If there is over-spill from Broadmeadows then we can certainly use this again.

In April 2013 most of us stayed in Broadmeadows and a few stayed at other accommodation in Selkirk.

Some rooms are doubles only, some are SuperKing with the option to split into singles (twin room) and some are dedicated twin rooms so the singles will need to share.


So what do I need to know - I NEED people to commit on this page to get your name on the priority list if you want to stay at Broadmeadows.  The first 18 and possibly up to 22 will (unless I hear otherwise) have their space guaranteed when they pay their initial £20 deposit to hold the accommodation. Everyone else will be on the reserve list for Broadmeadows in the order they signed up.

By end of May 2020
To secure a space - £20 deposit
By end of September 2020 - a further £20 deposit
By end of Feb 2021 - a further £90

Total = £130 (note this doesn't account for the full food and drinks (and any entertainment) bill which I expect to be around another £30 - £40 or so)



We've had drop-outs every year so those places will be filled in order of the sign-up list.
If we fill the space then deposits will be returned.

Costs - I've worked out approximate costs as follows

Big Hoose (3 night stay) will be a cost of approx £150-£170  we NEED to fill this  (10 spaces)
Rest of Broadmeadows (3 night stay) will be a cost of approx £150-£170 (4 + 4 + 2 = 10 spaces)
There are two additional beds that they can supply for our use and this will be same cost. I've been in them twice and they are well comfy.

At the moment we've only provisionally booked 18 spaces but can hopefully book more if required.

This cost will pay for your accommodation and supplies for breakfast.
We then buy supplies for evening meals and drinks add on any shortfall or subtract any overpayment and then split this between everyone.

Cost vary depending on the food, drinks and entertainment bill but they have generally been in the £150 - 170 total mark for 3 nights dinner, bed and breakfast.

It really is a 5 star stay for a 3 star cost

I NEED people on the list to confirm and pay a initial deposit £20 PP by end of May so I'll be looking for people to get their deposits to me before then to REALLY book your place.
You can't please all the people all the time but we'll do our best.

If you have to cancel you will only lose your deposit if we can't find a replacement.
If lots of people cancel then we've got a problem that will have to be shared - but hopefully that won't happen.

Hopefully everyone will get the right room but there might need to be a bit of jiggery-pokery in the sleeping arrangements if you know what I mean.

The RIDEOUT is TWO days with one on Saturday 1st May and one on Sunday 2nd May 2021.

Please note that folks who wish to attend the event are welcome to organise their own accommodation as you don't need to stay in Broadmeadows.

Will also be looking for volunteer chefs, assistant chefs nearer the time.  Everyone needs to muck in though.
