Thanks Cameron.

We will give it our best shot. I,m more worried about Duncan Mc Millans bit for a small memorial in the summer...trying to get Lottery funds is hard
so many restrictions.If we were the Gay & Lesbian Pony club they would be throwing money at us to buy ponies.!!!


Still we got time yet to source funds...thing is I hate begging and that,s what it feels like.Getting money from Lottery is like the Banks always offering you money "till you want it"...then see whats its like..

Cheers.

I have heard that the Scots invented everything. And now they are the first to have a club especially for gay and lesbian ponies. You guys really ARE progressive.

Well Bobbie, you are correct we did invent almost everything
Even had a hand in creating your Declaration of Independance dontcha
know !!

Duncan, is there anything other than the Buttons and Journal that you think might be better as a keepsake/momento? just looking for ideas really.
My offer still stands if I can be of any help, albeit long-distance, with the organisation.

All the best

Hi Cameron.

Can,t think of anything at moment Cameron..you could always collect some of the insulator shards and flog them on E-Bay...
Cheers

Duncan

I was speaking to Russell last night and he said Reporting Scotland were coming down to film today. Hope it goes well.

Malky

Yes we were out this afternoon 1330 till 1630!!!
Actually everyone enjoyed themselves...and no booze in sight.
Most of it will end on cutting room floor,certainly my bit will or even with Barry Normans funny bits.
But it was interesting..never again will I think giving an interview is easy. My main worry was not swearing and is Adrenalin brown??

Dunc

You did well Duncan, not a nerve in sight, appalling weather too. Duncan MacMillan also spoke well. Looking forward to seeing it.

Nancie

Sounds like your a star in the making Duncan
Can someone please let me know when it will be on, hopefully I will get to see it !!
All the best
Cameron
