[Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner
I expect to attend the event, and the evening meal. I opt for the carvery. If this is to be at the Toby Carvery in Corstorphine, then I can thoroughly recommend it from visits there approximately 4 years ago. However, seating probably would be on the basis of find a seat for yourself. At lunch times it can be quite crowded. Is it expected that accompanying womenfolk will be welcome to attend the dinner?

Hi, I am coming up to Edinburgh on Friday, so will be having dinner every night. Scottish food is the best, but I most things.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner
Update from my side: Flights (easyjet from Basel), Car and Hotel are booked now. Arriving on Wednesday with my family, the trip will have 3 major topics Scotland, Edinburgh and the QLis30 workshop. I prefer a QLers dinner on Friday. Other family members should be allowed/welcomed ;-), but I think my folks will enjoy this evening on their own (let Daddy talk on his QL things) ;-). @Geoff: When running the QLis25 show in 2009 I had great success using Doddle to manage attendance for both the show and dinner, including preferences. It's easy to setup and use and it's free. http://doodle.com/en_GB/ In my opinion emails on this list are ok but will not reach the complete QL community and may not show the full picture.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner
Speaking as a Jock in exile, I can honestly say that I have never seen a deep fried Mars bar, in batter or otherwise, anywhere but in the deepest darkest county of England. Further south from where I am, a deep fried Creme Egg is De rigeur. Yuk. DFMBS are available here in Leeds aplenty. Cheers, Norm.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner
Evening Dilwyn, Stonehaven is a place I visited frequently when I was working in Aberdeen. I never saw one there either. However, that is not to say that there were none of course. I left Aberdeen for deepest darkest Leeds (Bradford at the time) in 1996 so maybe I missed it. :-) Alison partook of a deep fried and battered Picnic bar recently, in a local Italian that we frequent. I think the chef did it as a joke. I abstained on the grounds of culinary taste! ;-) Haggis, neeps and tatties, on the other hans, are right up my street. As long as it is not one of those awful MacSweens (MacSweans?) haggis. They are particularly "offal"! :-) Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Ah yes that will be stovies at Mr Connery's place then - meat of some kind, should be mutton, onion and taties boiled up in the same pot and stirred (not shaken) of course all the best - Bill (an aficionado ) > > From: Derek >To: ql-us...@q-v-d.com >Sent: Thursday, 19 June 2014, 19:53 >Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner > > >Hi, > >I would prefer Shovies. > >Regards > >Derek > >Norman Dunbar wrote: > >>Evening Dilwyn, >> >>Stonehaven is a place I visited frequently when I was working in Aberdeen.
