The Kintyre Forum

I will be in Campbeltown next month May - I thought it may be fun if some members of the Forum, to meet up in the White Hart Hotel on a Saturday Afternoon - till the wee small hours. We could have a good old discussion and put faces to names.

Will there be a referee?

Wish I didn`t live so far away

Probably what looks like a roll of wallpaper.That will be a list.Or the Bible.Possibly wearing an orange sash and carrying a flag.

The idea of open debate really appeals - we could have a Kintyre Forum Debating Society - held yearly in Campbeltown.
EMDEE would make a fine referee, as he is a stickler for the rules.

Will life-jackets be issued at the door, or is it possible to float in drivel?

We would need a moderator (of the general assembly).

Aren't they picked by a democratic process ?
Are you up for the job EMDEE ?
Seriously though - I think a Debating Society, meeting a few times of year in Campbeltown - would be great for the area. Or perhaps you already have one?

Have been home twice this year,easy seen you have picked a time when I will not be there

There used to be one ,but everybody just sat about talking all night ,so it just fizzled out .

Looks like the meeting would be best held in Glasgow to make it easier for the only ones who post to attend Much nearer than Kintyre I'm sure.

Now what does that say about the people of Kintyre? Oh, I know - apathetic. They'll complain plenty about the forum but never contribute...
