It says all that here too:-

Rob Malaney's Moffat session weekend

The Visit Moffat website also has a link to Rob's site but it doesn't work (they need to get their blue clicky program sorted). Maps and accommodation details there too.

Sounds like a possibility but I'm trying to persuade my friend Nic Gardner to the Moorbrook session on the 8th (I knew that date was familiar!)
