WHISKY TASTING TRIP TO SCOTLAND

As you may know some of VH3 are involved in the Lithuanian Whisky Society. Some years ago we organised a short trip to Scotland to visit the home of whisky... another trip is being proposed & all of VH3 are welcome.

At present the suggested dates are: June 2nd to 5th .... 3 nights. This fits with www.ryanair.com who offer flights from Kaunas to Edinburgh as below:


02/06 Kaunas 06:55 / Edinburgh 07:45

05/06 Edinburgh 19:00 / Kaunas 23:45

One word of warning with Ryanair.... read what it says on the tin:) If you want to take bottles back to LTU you'll need to prebook a hold bag for the return journey:) [today - 30/12 - return ticket was about 380 lts.... it will go down to less then up to more :)]


www.ollex.lt offer a good value express bus service to Kaunas Airport leaving from just outside the Panarama Hotel near the stotis http://www.airport-express.lt/index.php?lang=lt&back=1


Accommodation is likely to be in the Ben Mhor Hotel - in the Heart of Speyside http://www.benmhor.co.uk/


OK..... so we need to firm this up a bit.... please email Kiltman if you are interested gordonross@inbox.lt . We have said to the hotel that we can confirm numbers etc at the end of March.

DECEMBER 26th VH3 HASH (BOXING DAY)

The time of our traditional Boxing Day Hash is approaching. As you may recall, it is always held on December 26, and has a traditional route: from the parking at the Applied Arts’ Museum on Arsenalo 3, we go up the Kosciuskos street, then turn left closer to the River Neris, cross the bridge, again turn left and go back along the river to the Green Bridge, then return along the river back to the car parking.
Be there by 11:15. The start will be at 11:30. Cost is 10 lt for beers and drinks.
If lost, call Liliana (Last Virgin) at 861606577.

Lunch will be decided later on. Perhaps it will be at the Erlickas Café, which is situated on the opposite side of the park where we will be meeting, i. e. on Maironio 1 (we will have just to cross a little portion of the park – no more than 200 meters,).

We are looking forward to see as many of you as possible. Remember that it is a good occasion to walk out calories collected during the Christmas time. And besides, you may take your dog too – it will be a good occasion to walk your dog in a nice company and around nice places with beautiful views.

Please, put this date on your calendars – it should be a pleasant walk indeed.
