["Cruikshank, David W" <david.w.cruikshank@boeing.com>]

Andrew,

 

didn't get it the first time...spamator probably doesn't like you at home.

 

All,

 

Now that we're having so much fun trying to settle on a date for a Feb f2f, here's another one to consider for May.  Andrew presents an interesting possibility.  We'll discuss on Wednesday.

 

thx...Dave

Dave,

 

I have two options for the group a Central Glasgow venue or a Scottish Loch Side venue, both are subject to agreement as soon as possible because I hadn't realised how busy Glasgow and Loch Lomond was in May.  The tourists are booking up all the hotels and driving the costs up as I write this email!  The weeks commencing the 9th and 16th May 05 are still showing some availability.

 

First Option: A local hotel within walking distance of my office - Kentigern House, for example the Corus, next door from £84 (room only) www.corushotels.co.uk.  or The Jury's Inn, Jamaica Street from £74 (room only) www.jurysdoyle.com  A group rate can be arranged but I need numbers and confirmed dates.

 

These hotels are only a 15 minute airport bus ride from Glasgow Airport (GLA). 

 

I can provide a conference room for 3 days, lunch and coffee/tea, - however no internet access because of our Building Security Policy.

 

Second Option: The 'Lodge on the Loch' this venue is 45 minutes drive from Glasgow Airport (GLA) set on the banks of Loch Lomond near the small village of Luss, Argyll.  This venue would be a little remote so a Dinner, Bed and Breakfast rate starting from £130 has been arranged.  If you choose to upgrade to suites that several US President's use then these are from £229 a night!  www.loch-lomond.co.uk

 

I can host the Group here for 3 days - to include Conference room, meeting internet access, morning+afternoon coffee/tea and lunches.

 

f2f February: I have not cast my vote because I do not want to sway the vote for either week because I still may need to cancel.  The 15-18 would be my preferred choice however, to then cancel would be unfair to the group.  I will try to attend either week -if I can.

 

Regards

 

Andrew
