Clan McWesty: Charity BBQ #2 - Sunday 21st August 2016

[Rab (bombero) Reid]

Well well, I can see us having to start up a Clan McWesty Slimmers Club as we attend our second charity BBQ of the month! 

 

This one needs no real introduction as it's our now infamous Borders Blat'n'BBQ organised by club member Neville Mackay. We've been attending this for a good few years now and it's a great wee gathering! Neville's charity remains the same, HemiHelp (http://www.hemihelp.org.uk/) which is a charity that supports families who have loved ones suffering from hemipelgia - a weakness to one side of the body from which his daughter is affected.   

 

As always, we'll have a blat around the Scottish Borders and finally stop of at Neville's hilltop mansion to see his family and friends again and fill our faces. Run details will follow as soon as I receive them.

Assuming it's Ok with Mrs Diary, I'll try and make it up there this year Rab (no weddings to go to the day before!) and see if I can bring along some other Sassenachs with me if that's OK

[Rab (bombero) Reid]

Hi Chris, that would be great! Keep me posted on how you get on :-)

[ziplob]

[Hornet600]

I'm free....... Will be there as that's the best home made bread and cake I have ever tasted!

[Scottish Westy]

Hope to be there. Even though its only water, I dont like the rain (how can I own a Westfield in Scotland and not like the rain?)

Matt, Pax available if you want it. You might even force me to go if the sky has that wet stuff coming from it.

Hope to be there for my first meeting. Hoping the weather is not too bad my constitution is stable after an afternoon @ the Fringe on Saturday

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

[Kingster]

I've got the OK from the missus - so as long as the weather isn't dire (odd shower OK) then I'll be there. Busy drumming up some more of our mob if you don't mind a few more foreigners

Could you bring the Applecross shelter, pal?

[Kingster]

I'll aim to meet you boys at either Kelso or Hawick. Any rough idea on timings?
