GNER bookings still aren't open for the 12th May yet, I believe they open this thursday. As soon as that is done, I shall pounce, and grab my last remaining six freebies. Once again, I shall hope to bring a nice picnic for the train. 
Also, checked the calendar, and we seem to be ok as far as engineering works go for then.

Accommodation assistance
In response to the challenge some have experienced finding accommodation at affordable rates, we have managed to secure preferential rates at the Clarendon Hotel during the weekend of our gathering.
Thanks to the generosity of The Clarendon, the special rates are £45 per person for a single room or £35 per person for a shared twin. Breakfast is included in the rate. If you are interested, please get in touch with the hotel directly on +44 (0)131 229 1467 or by email [email protected]. Ask for Michelle and don't forget to mention FlyerTalk. Please note that there are a limited number of rooms available at these rates so its very much as case of book as early as you can to avoid disappointment.
The Clarendon Hotel, formally The Maitland is located at 25 Shandwick Place, just a couple of doors down from the Caledonian Hilton right in the heart of the City Centre. Very conveniently located for both the airport and also for Cramond. The Airlink 100 bus stops right outside its door; and it's two minutes from the bus 41 stop on Queensferry Street for Cramond.
Very special thanks to subhi for pulling some strings and making this happen for us.

LOL! The

And again
Great news on the hotel deal ^

The YUP/KUP part of your posting suggests American Airlines of which the Gold card bonus does not apply. Only to BA flights - no others. This for example could a reason to fly BA to Hong Kong, for example, vs Cathay in Economy as the Gold bonus alone would be rather generous.
