Ooo, I'll add that to my diary!

Is there a website?

Ah, I see that's exactly where you copied the text from:

There's a list of sponsors on that page.

Purchased a couple of tickets for this today.

Anyone else going ?

This looks like a good event - makes an interesting contrast with the £15 ticket for the ill-starred Edinburgh Whisky Festival, doesn't it?

Looking at the list of distilleries that are attending it looks to be a good event.

One interesting bit of news was that they expect Ardbeg to be there with the new 10 year old, Renaissance which was a bit of a surprise as I hadn't expected to see this before Feis Ile 2008 but here's hoping

They also mentioned that Martin Green of McTears would be there doing a book signing (don't all rush at once :lol:

)

Does anyone know if there are still tickets left?

by **Willie JJ** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:30 pm

I would imagine at this stage there will be plenty tickets left. Seems like a good excuse to visit my old auntie in Irvine the night before and then just head down to Ayr for the event. I think I will try for this because it looks like I can't get to London for Whisky-Live.

by **Deactivated Member** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 3:48 pm

Yep, I got a reply this morning and there are indeed tickets left.

by **Deactivated Member** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 7:40 pm

My tickets will be in the post tomorrow morning.

:thumbsup:

Who else has tickets?

by **martin grant** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 7:56 pm

I'll be there

by **Deactivated Member** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:34 pm

Great stuff!

We'll need to find a way of meeting up.

I was about to say 'badges', but I controlled myself...

Likewise, I'll be there also.

by **Deactivated Member** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:07 pm

Good stuff. I'm guessing Willie will be going too since he didn't get to London.

by **Willie JJ** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 2:26 pm

Just ordered my ticket for this

by **Deactivated Member** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 4:11 pm

Great stuff!

I keep looking at the line-up and what you get for the ticket price and it's an absolute bargain!

by **Deactivated Member** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 3:31 pm

My tickets arrived this morning. Excellent. Really looking forward to this now.

by **Willie JJ** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 3:32 pm

Mine came too. That was really quick.

Mark, we gotta have badges

by **Deactivated Member** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 3:54 pm

Badges. Yes, badges.

*starts thinking...

by **Deactivated Member** » Fri May 02, 2008 12:46 pm

Not long now!

A few of the Glasgow's Whisky Club folk will be meeting up at Central Station to arrive there en masse. Anyone else want to meet at the station too?

by **bobbyb** » Sun May 04, 2008 10:01 pm

Hi Bluephoto,what time are you all meeting?

bobbyb

by **Deactivated Member** » Tue May 06, 2008 12:14 pm

Good to see you on here, Bobby. Toshie said he'll send an email round everyone at some point soon about it.

by **Deactivated Member** » Wed May 07, 2008 12:00 pm

Okay, it appears he's just leaving it up to us. I'm going to check the train times later and suggest an appropriate meeting time.

by **bobbyb** » Wed May 07, 2008 7:50 pm

Hi bluephote
Ideal,let us know when and I will meet you all at the station.

I was thinking about it, but haven't bought a ticket as yet.

by **Deactivated Member** » Fri May 09, 2008 10:07 am

The train appears to take around 50mins to get from Central to Ayr. The trains are every half hour, on the hour and half hour. So if we want to get there for 1pm we can get the 12:00.

So, meet in Central around 11:30?

by **bobbyb** » Mon May 12, 2008 6:31 pm

Looks like trains leave
11.30am
11.42am
12.00

cu all at the station 11.15ish onwards

bobbyb

by **Deactivated Member** » Tue May 13, 2008 12:24 pm

11:15 it is, then.

by **Deactivated Member** » Wed May 14, 2008 9:33 am

I have a spare ticket for this now if anyone's thinking of going...

by **Willie JJ** » Wed May 14, 2008 9:48 am

I have one already. 3 days to go

by **Deactivated Member** » Wed May 14, 2008 9:49 am

Yes, 3 days to get shot of this ticket...
