OK, it's "**** or bust" time! Put me down for everything please, I've just had provisional approval from SWMBO to attend, both of us.
 I seem to have first refusal on Reffro's room that he wants to pass on. And, if at all possible can we add the 2 of us to the distillery tour (whenever that is and whoever is organising it!) IIRC Reffro had booked Friday and Saturday so we'll be there for all the social events, not sure what we'll do Sunday evening. The plan after that (details TBD) is to head to Islay and possibly Jura too. Not sure if anyone has ever driven an S8 on Jura!

Sorry that Reffro can't make it, but pleased to hear his room is taken already!
The distillery tour will remain open until the end of this month when we'll need to book it. I'll send bank details by PM to those who've 'signed up' in a couple of weeks or so. There may be an additional tour option (later in the day, and not another distillery!): more details soon.

OK, I'm definitely out I'm afraid. Spoken with my friends, there is a big birthday bash for that weekend and I can't miss it. Shame as I was so looking forward to the drive up and seeing all and sundry again.
Andrew, the room will be yours. I'll call the hotel later, if you PM me your full name and a number, I'll ask them to call you to confirm.

Right, we seem to be booked in for 3 nights at Tyndrum - Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Sunday is cancellable at short notice, depending on our forward travel plans. As we're hoping to go on to Islay and Sunday ferries (from Kennacraig) are limited this seems a sensible choice.

Personally, iv never had the pleasure of a reply to my email from Tyndrum Inn.
That firstly means - I wont ever be booking a stay there. Second - il probably book a hotel a few miles down the road.

To be fair, I think we swamped them and there was a lot of confusion over the initial bookings. If you give them a call,they might be able to recommend a nearby B&B or hotel. Ask for Andy or Jennifer

Attached is what we have to date. I thought Sergey had signed up, too but I can't find the post.
If there are any errors, please let me know
