Gatherin 'O' The Clans

1. Gathering of the Clans is held on Saturday June 22nd at

the Grampian Transport Museum, https://www.gtm.org.uk/.

<https://www.gtm.org.uk/> The Museum is located in Alford, approximately 23

miles due west of Aberdeen. It has a short purpose-built oval circuit so we

could hold parade laps and other demonstrations if required. There is a

grandstand for spectators and plenty of room in the grounds. I have

provisionally booked the museum for the whole weekend of 22nd / 23rd June

2024.

2. There will be the usual catering available on site and

GTM have suggested they could do a barbecue or even a hog roast for us,

subject to numbers note though that this would be at extra cost.

3. We thought that people coming a distance would possibly

like to make a weekend of it and could come up Friday and stay in one of the

Hotels in the village (I will try and negotiate a reduced rate if there is

sufficient interest) or in one of the many different hotels nearby.

4. There would be an option to also stay over on the

Saturday night - we could possibly arrange an evening get together / dinner

if there was sufficient interest and depending on where most folk are

staying.

5. On Sunday morning, we plan to assemble in the Museum car

park for a scenic road run of approximately 40 miles out to Balmoral Castle

where you could (probably) visit the Castle, a photo opportunity in front of

the Castle, refreshments / lunch in the café and then disperse home.

6. Estimated cost for the weekend will be around £25 per

car (excluding entry to Balmoral this cost to be confirmed) which will

include entry for 2 people to GTM and the Tea Room. As you will see on the

GTM website, 2023 entry to the Museum is £12 per person.
