get_togetherRight. One observed shortcoming of the new venue last year was a perceived paucity of meal options in Seatoun compared to Kilbirnie.
Brunch Friday:
TBC, but almost certainly Elements in Kilbirnie.
Snacks Saturday/Sunday:
I got the impression last year that the crudites side of things was more popular than the all junk all the time, so I'm gonna 60-40 it in that direction unless anyone is violently opposed. Speak now, or forever hold your peace.
Lunch Saturday/Sunday:
The Four Square is definitely a superette rather than a supermarket, so good for snacks/sundries but not great for food shopping. There is a fish and chip shop (nice, I've heard) and a cafe (okay but slightly pricey) in the immediate vicinity.
If you're up for a ten minute walk (an easy and pleasant one -- assuming it's not raining which I have now jinxed -- and one which I take the kids from work on all the time so easily doable) then I actually recommend walking back to Strathmore (just through the tunnel) where there is a bakery/cafe, a fish and chip shop, a Chinese takeaway, a Hell, and an Indian (though you might not want that given we'll probably have dinner at the Indian in Kilbirnie on Saturday night). Lunch breaks will be scheduled at an hour so there'll be plenty of time.
We may be able to prevail upon the drivers in the group to convoy a few extra people down to Strathmore (or to the New World in Miramar) but that's not going to be possible for me as I'll be busy at the hall prepping/fretting.
People staying at the Brentwood may choose to swing past the Pak n Save (or Countdown if that's the way you roll) or Subway in Kilbirnie before jumping on the bus in the morning. There is a decent sized fridge and a goodish kitchen where you could stash your food if that seems preferable.
Lastly, some bon vivant mentioned the possibility of phoning in a group (or subset of group) pizza order to Hell in Strathmore (or indeed to Domino's in Miramar if you want cheap and cheerful instead) which is certainly possible. The only pitfall I see there is divvying up the bill, so if you think this is what you'd be in the mood for can I ask you to BRING CASH/CHANGE with you, or at the very least co-ordinate with your accommodation buddies so you can sort it out among yourselves later. I will NOT be putting this on my credit card which already has everything else on it. ;-p
Dinner:
Friday: TBC
Saturday: almost certainly the Indian and Thai places of long infamy in Kilbirnie.
