The Edinburgh Tattoo

[mazie]

Blows me away every year! Did anyone see it on BBC1 tonight? Brilliant as usual.

[nungate]

most definitely Mazie!

[marval]

I loved it, I saw it live a long time ago, it is always very stirring.

[anneasquith]

and douglas and steg, do we get a uniform. ? will there be anyone from englishland ? LOL ( its a joke )

[mazie]

It's brilliant marval. I'm going to definitely book for us all next year. I reckon putting £10 a week away should just about cover the cost for 8 of us... I noticed there's no discount for children

[tonyav]

Hey hang on nungate, queenie's down in my neck of the woods next month.

[mazie]

It would be nice if all the local Scottish members could come nungate....We could even have a Christmas meet up, that would be fun :o)

[mazie]

Where are you tony? I'm in NW Leicestershire, just off the 42

[nungate]

No uniforms, but it was primarily for the Ladies of AB, though we are allowing DT to join us as he is going to be here on a break at the time we plan to meet, anyone wishing to tag along will be welcome

[nungate]

We were thinking of having it before she ventures south Tony. Mazie will be up when Queenie gets back so we're going to meet up later in the month

[tonyav]

Righto I see, nungate.
Deep in the heart of the Black country, mazie.

[mazie]

I know it well tony, It used to be my "patch" when I worked as a Rep.

[tonyav]

Well how about that then mazie, which towns / area did you cover ?.

[mazie]

All of the West Midlands was my patch.... took early retirement so haven't been over that neck of the woods for nearly 15 years now. I bet it's changed a lot?

[slinky.kate]

fantastic,am going to get tickets for my sister and I next year,is there a special area for wheelchairs/disabled?????

[zebo]

Stunning as ever, we were lucky enough to get tickets for the first night, which was a pity as our hotel was for the following weekend!!! Sorted it out, they resold our tickets and we got 2 for the right night, not sitting together though, which was just as well really.
The seating's been redone the last couple of years and it makes all the difference.
The artificial snow during the Moghuls had people reaching for extra jackets etc.
Anyone wanting to go, the tickets go on sale in November, don't leave it too late.

[nungate]

if I remember rightly there was the last time I was there but that was a really long time ago. Check with the Edinburgh Tattoo Office they'll be able to tell you, mind you there's probably a web site Kate

[tonyav]

Blimey mazie, you had a very big patch to cover then.

[tiggerblue10]

Saw a bit of it when I got back home but not all. The bit that I did see was brill!

[zebo]

Kate, yes there is but it isn't huge so get in there early for tickets. These is a website and they're helpful when you phone. You can pre-register for tickets, not sure from when exactly.

[marval]

Here is the website Kate.
