Think there is some sort of health club in the grounds now but it would be nice to see it out doors again

plus it would be nice to have a date at the beginning of the year while planning which shows i attend.

Last time it was there, we ended up in this little bar, not knowing it was a doubles bar (Obviously if you order a single you get a double).

We spent quite some time on double vodkas before we realised they were quadruples

By then it was too late and the next day was a blur

The NE RSOC are at the mercy of the AECC!

Last year, they had their date and BOYZONE or some shite parachuted in for a concert and offered the AECC more money and got turfed out!

Afraid to say we have been shafted again by the AECC.
There will be no Aberdeen show this year.
But we will be back next year.

Hi all.
Here's a statement from our group regarding our show.

-----------------------------------------------

Hi everyone

It is with much regret and annoyance that the Aberdeen Show will NOT be at the AECC this year. To say we have been gesumpted is an understatement. Some big fish that has been organising an Emmerdale Extravagance for the last 7 years has promised the AECC the earth and they have taken the bait. We were invited to attend, but the date was Saturday 9th June – this is really not suitable as Lightwater Valley is on the Sunday. Also if we were to attend we would be outside in the main car park at a cost of £250.00 for a maximum for 5 Cars.

We as a group will look at the possibility of another venue, possibly back to basics again, but at this late stage in the year and with the RSOC diary quite full we will not make any promises.

If nothing this year – you can bet there will be a show next year.

Again our apologies to those who have supported us for the last 16 years. Hope to see you all at other events during the course of the year.

Regards


Ricky and Maureen
North East of Scotland RSOC
