Default Mini Jock Meet

Anyone fancy a mini meet in Scotlandshire?

I'd be happy to host at HMS CALEDONIA and may (may I say) be able to arrange a walkround of HMS ILLUSTRIOUS in dry dock in Babcock's Yard.

The weekend has to be 23 / 24 Oct, and as per before if I haven't met you I'm afraid I can't sponsor you.

There may be the chance of accommodation on the Friday or Saturday and maybe a few beers in the evening!

If your interested names below.

After returning to work I have scoped this out. Suggest the day events will be on the Saturday with a visit to the ship in the am (yet to be approved) a run out in the afternoon and then back to my mess for some beers and a curry in the evening. I have arranged one cabin for Fri and Sat evening so far, does anyone else want accomodation on either of those 2 nights?
