I'm definitely up for it, provided we can combine with a longer trip further North that we haven't finalised yet, linked to a "significant chronological event" or two.
As SWMBO will be with me I'll have to wait for details of the venue and a "consultation period" before I can say more. 
I'm hoping the venue will be accessible enough to get there reasonably early after an early doors start from "down 'ere".
As an example we left home at 5am in the old S8 one June a year or so back and hit Cairndow (Loch Fyne Oyster bar at Clachan to be precise) exactly at midday for lunch!
Edit: I also need to be back from that trip in time to take the S8 to Le Mans.
