A few months ago, Abu, our man in Malaysia, wrote a post for Munguin’s Republic, and in the follow-up comments, he mentioned that he would be coming to Scotland this year.
Well, he will be here next week and he would like to meet as many Munguinistas and Indepententistas as possible while he is here. He will be staying in Perth.
Of course, we know that not everyone will be able to make it. Perth is a long way from some parts of Scotland, but it would be grand if as many of you as can make it along for at least a short while.
Munguin himself will grace the gathering with his presence!
Here’s his mail, giving details.
Perth Meet Up
I will be in Perth for the week and I hope to meet most, if not all, Munguin’s most loyal followers. I hope to meet others, who may not be Munguin’s follower (which is unfortunate) but supporters of the same cause.
Most excited to be in Scotland and meet all you.
ABU
When
Fri Jun 22, 2018 18:30 – 21.00
Where
Cherrybank Inn, 210 Glasgow Rd, Perth PH2 0NA, UK (map)
Abu and Munguin, not to forget Tris, would very much like to meet you.
It would be helpful if you could let Abu know (on here) if you will be able to pop in.
MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC 
I will attend and stay until ‘the last train to Glasgow’. Very much looking forward to this.

Apparently, the last train out of Dodge is at 22:38. So all is well. (Dodge = Perth = poor joke)

Not too far out though. In past times, the Naval Stores depot a few miles away was known locally as Dodge City, this being comment on the alleged proclivities of the depot staff.

Apologies for the late reply. These last few days before Eid are always the hectic ones. I am very happy to meet whoever that can come. Those who can’t, no worries I have a feeling I will be back in Scotland by the very latest 2020. Well at least by the looks of how things are beginning to shape up anyway. I am just happy to be back in Scotland.
To old friends and to new friends!

I’d love to go but too worried about getting back home safely. And no idea where in Perth this Cherrybank Inn is. So have fun and if Abu and/or Munguin (I mean Tris) are ever in Glasgow area or at a push Edinburgh well game on.

I’ll probably still be recovering from the previous nights summer solstice celebrations. You know, dancing naked round the garden, quaffing great horns of mead, casting spells, brewing potions, orgies, all the usual stuff that fat old blokes get up to on the longest day.
And now the truth. We’re going away for a couple of days so unfortunately can’t make it.
I read somewhere that the written word is only 6% of communication so it would have been interesting to meet you all and see the other 94% in action.

Well…erm, probably going a way for a few days is better for you than dancing naked. You have to remember that this is Scotland and Midsummer it may be, but that’s no reason to assume that the weather will be clement.
Enjoy your break. There will be other occasions. 🙂

Though I hardly dare to suggest it, perhaps the august Mr. Munguin could be humbly besought to employ his network of relations with the many gnomes of Zurich to smooth Mr. Entoure’s path to residency…
I wish you luck, Terry, and to hell with Brexit, and to hell with Brexiteers.
