Andy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'd better look at some hotels myself. I notice there are a couple of travel lodges in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 There are 3 Travelodges all at £ 19 a night close by the Treetops Andy well ( 2.1 miles or 3.3 miles or 4.7 miles away) alternatively you could pitch the FTF tent in the hotel gardens ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 booked the travellodge for the saturday night just need to decide what to display this year Sounds good Brian...which Travelodge have you booked?.....It sounds like there could be a get together of FTF members who are staying at the Treetops or close by. Alternatively there is / or was (don't quote me ) a good eating place called the Palm Court within walking distance from the Treetops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I did a mass email yesterday lunchtime with posters and flyers to the rally clubs I exhibit with my tractors. I'm pleased to see Alan Sharpe has uploaded it to the Garioch Clubs website already.

BC Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You would only have been about 8 miles out Brian. Talking about the different hotels I don't know the number of car parking spaces there are at the Treetops in comparison to the Marriott. The Marriott car park was crowded even at 6am in the morning since there had been a lot of wedding quests staying over. I did not hear of complaints as such about the parking but I guess last year there was a steady flow of folk in and out from opening to closing. Fingers crossed that there is no weddings at the Treetops the night before ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This afternoon I stopped of at BA Country Stores at Lyne of Skene and had a "news" with the owner Allan Brownie. Allan took 3 posters to put up and 30 flyers for the counter. He recognised Brian Fleming's display of Corgi lorries on the poster and was amazed at the collection of cranes from Ian May.In addition when I said the farming display was from two young lads called Moir from the Fraserburgh area he said he knew them well. In addition he was astonished at the photo of mutley's farm steading.Anyway I pass the store on a weekly basis so I will pop in past and provide more flyers as required.

Big A Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thats good, i'm guessing that was Stuart Duncan, i met him on friday and he was planning on doing a spot of promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known Stewart from the rallies for many years and he really is a top notch guy. He is the one at the back (under the lights) setting up his stall early on at the Marriott last year and that's his wife at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
