To anyone who is thinking of coming to the AGW Cocktails & Karaoke night at Cafe Mambo's tonight...
This event has had to be cancelled last minute as there has been a double booking. Unfortunatly we were not made aware of this until last night by Staff at Mambo's. We have tried in vain to source an alternative venue for this event but as it is still close to Xmas this has been impossible. We can only appologise for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Please keep checking either at our website (www.agw.techmad.co.uk) or here for details of future events...
Again appologies...

Hi all,
First of all, sorry not to be at the terror ceilidh this evening, my health hasn't been too great for a while and I ended up having to head back to Aberdeen rather too early (despite having bought a ticket for the ceilidh that day).
I really enjoyed meeting you all and hope to keep in touch. I wonder if I might still be able to grab an AGW t-shirt though? In the meantime, I made myself useful and uploaded the video I shot today from the steam train trip. I have a (much) better full-quality video of it which is much much clearer. If anyone want a copy of it I'm sure I could arrange it. In the meantime, here it is:

Hi people :)
I've just joined as I've just managed to talk![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
_gh0st_ into going if I can find cheap deals with travel and accomodation.
I've found train tickets for £40 or we could do the bus journey for a little over £30 so thats sorted but I've been finding it difficult getting reasonably priced accomodation. If people know of anywhere that is available sat-sun (working fri as didnt decide till now to go- damn!! Not working mon but if accomodation is too expensive then can only do one night) that'd be very appreciated. Looking for somewhere which is up to £60-£65/ room.
I have tried to find things- Im not here wanting others to do my dirty work honest! Ive emailed places and used different websites (4hotels; scottishaccomodationindex; visitscotland) but seems places are booked etc.
Anyone know anywhere still free??
Hope we can go- getting a bit excited :)

sheepthief and myself are planning on doing the 1/2 day white water rafting on the Sunday. Ace Adventures indeed! :) Spoke to the chap at Ace Adventures and if we want to use our buy one get one free tickets, he would prefer if there were a minimum of 4 of us. So who else is up for it? If there are 4 of us it will work out to be £22 each.
The sight of me in a wetsuit is free *lol* :p
