Quinners - we can do it any time! Main thing is to get someone to drive it along. Build it and they will come and all that!

Pick a venue (used to be Stirling Uni track, but it's a bit pricey and maybe not ideal location for all. Other tracks may be available!)
Pick a date (you can be democratic and let the thread pick the date, but you'll just be herding cats, and then those who insisted on a certain date will pull out at last minute!)
Sprinkle in some cake (cayke ) and suddenly it's all on.

So, where, when and how much cake basically?! I'll be there! :-)G

Inverness track - right next to Park Run route - an ideal Saturday combo!

Saughton track is the pits! Possibly because it's next door to Pitz, actually that's up the road a bit! I'd be interested in Meadowbank, the one out East Lothian, Emirates in Glasgow etc. Being selfish Grangemouth would be good.

Would love to come to Aberdeen or Inverness, but a bit far for me (though the Aberdeen and Stoney contingent did get down to Stirling, a couple of times). :-)G
