Excellent 

Makes me wish I was going.

Just signed up for this whilst the other half is having a night out!  Should be an interesting conversation later    But am retiring on 20/07/2010 so ideal timing and a nice way to kick start the retirement.

They've even managed to get a link on the local .gov site too.  Good effort methinks.

Am impressed by the spread of cachers already signed up. but on the downside accomodation seems somewhat sparse and already booked up!  Got a green light to go    Praise be to alcohol

Just watch out for the deep fried Mars bars when you get oop North 

...and a hey nonny no as well

Can I ask what to expect at a mega event?

[JustAlan]

Basically it's an event that more than 500 cachers attend (and you get a special smiley on your profile as well).

There may also (or may not) be -
   Talks
   Special caches put out for the event
   Trade stands
   Demonstrations
   A bar
   Something for the children
   etc

Check the Scottish Mega website (link in first post) for more info

I made enquiries when I first saw this on Groundspeak about having a stall at this one. Still waiting to hear but apparently from initial emails from them they are up for having trade stands there.

I'm certain they will have trade stands and I'd be interested in reading the reply assuming you get one 

[jacaru]

I'll let you know.

Just booked us 4 nights B&B in Perth, not far from Mega venue. 

[jacaru]

We've registered our intention to go, even if we don't have a trade stand, we couldn't resist a few days in the Bonny.

I'm currently unsure about attending, depends if I can find family friendly accommodation in the city.

Hope you have better luck with the transport than you did when you went to Weston.
