Edinburgh

A few words of thanks to everyone who made the effort to come to Edinburgh.

 Apart from a few initial teething snags with the hotel rooms, the three day event was a success.In true AFMC style, everyone were determined to have a good time and most did(I think). We kicked off with the Tattoo, and thankfully it did not rain, although before we had even left the hotel premises, the fire alarm was set off. This just seemed part of the entertainment, somehow.

Then those with sufficient energy left, stayed on in the hospitality suite until the early hours of the morning, only to start the next day all over again.

The CME were of a fine standard and Zac, Dinesh and KK set an example for the younger ones to aspire to. The golfers  had their own CME at  the 18th  hole.

The Scottish evening started off with a champagne reception and a traditional meal, with a toastmaster addressing the haggis(vegetarian-to appease the queasy!) and then a ceilidh.which was in a league of its own. Suffice to say that the band had seen nothing like this before  but the whole crowd enjoyed and danced on and on, and then the die-hards stayed on in the cocktail lounge

The city tour and well attended, and so was the distillery tour. Most are well versed in the 'whisky' speak and our own malt 'Bharoba Daru' now graces many a cellar!

It was hard to say goodbye after  the warm response from everyone who cam to Edinburgh, 

So on behalf of the Organising committee, a HUGE thank you to all of you for coming and letting your hair down and simply being delightful. We raise a glass and say 'Slanje va' until the next time, in Birmingham.

A couple of photos to bring back the moments. Doesnt KK look dashing in his kilt?
