This is the I(nternational)COA site so here goes!!!
Scottish Highland 'Thistle Do' Rally Friday 15th and Saturday 16th Sept'06 Kingussie near Aviemore Scottish Highlands
Angus Anderson confirmed his intention to hold the first Scottish CBX rally of this era at Kingussie near Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands in Sept'06.
Based at Kingussie just off the A9 main road to Inverness just 70 miles north of Perth.
Staying at the Star Hotel, High Street, Kingussie PH21 1HR +441540 661431 where a rate of ?63 total has been given for two nights Dinner Bed and Breakfast per person.
To book rooms please contact the hotel directly and mention Angus Anderson and CBX Riders Club when booking.
Angus provided me with the brief above as he is just getting his internet connection sorted out.
For more direct info call Angus on +441540661571.
If you are interested please let me know so that I can help Angus gauge numbers:gogig@aol.com
Having spent a lot of time in this part of Scotland I can confirm that it will be a great location for the rally and I would hope that the Scottish membership would make a real effort to attend.
I would also hope that a few others from across the border would make the trip and I am sure that we will see Rickie White make the trip from N. Ireland maybe with Alan Winter.
I think it is important for folks coming to this rally to remember that whilst it is hoped that the weather will be cracking it is in Scotland so there may be a wee bit rain but hopefully not. If the weather is good as hoped for a really good ride out through the mountains is planned for the Saturday and if not so good a much shorter run up Cairngorm should take place.
All the activities will centre around the Star Hotel in Kingussie and with a fair turnout we should just about take the whole place over!!
More details as they become available will be posted here think about getting it your diaries.
END AUG UPDATE:
Over 50 signed up with England and Ireland well represented, even Claude in Belgium is considering it.
