    So, who's going? Want to meet up? I'm planning to go both days and would be happy to join any fellow ZGers for a drink or a wander. Any takers?

    It's the same place as last year, the Marriott Dalmahoy hotel. And yeah it's out in the middle of nowhere. Though if it's like last time there'll be a wee free bus running from outside Loud & Clear, in Stockbridge here in Edinburgh.

    Well I suppose the best place to meet would be the eating area, assuming it's laid out as it was last time. Dunno what would be the best time? I suppose later in the day after we've had a chance to do some solo wandering, but not so late that we couldn't do a bit of communal wandering afterwards..? So... 3pm?

    Actually, I would be interested in finding out what an ISF calibration can do for picture quality, but unfortunately, scotland is too far away!

    Cheers, Robbo

    Gordon - there's no link to your site in your sig. There is something that says "undefined" - perhaps some copy and pasting went amiss? (or the humour is way to subtle for me :D )

    Ok - I'm going to try to go on Sunday - what time is it open in the morning? Of course all the exhibitors will have hangovers on the Sunday morning, will they not? :)
    I will be driving from South Western side of Edinburgh, only 10-15 mins from Dalmahoy, if thats of use to anyone.
