Good morning all!

It looks like the best date would be Friday 17th January, probably at the Concert Hall Cafe/Bar.

I have used my charm and obtained the phone number of the Catering Manager, to see if we can reserve some tables, as there will probably be twelve of us, if everyone comes.
They don't usually allow reservations, but I will have ago!

I just need to get a hold of him!

I have some sort of eye thing, streaming tears all the time and looking/feeling as though I have the cold, or as if I've been crying all night. Walking in the cold wind makes it worse. If it improves by Friday I'll be there, if not I shall stay indoors with my box of tissues.

Urrrgh! I have flu and will not share it with you and everyone on the bus on Friday. I know “who dunnit” and am planning my revenge. Have a great time all and - next time.

Confirmed. Looking forward to meeting you all... and seeing the Edinburgh ladies again!
Daddima, sorry for your loss.
For those feeling unwell or caring for others who are unwell, sending a good thought your way.

Marydoll. Just dont keep me awake. ???

Marydoll Tue 14-Jan-20 23:37:16

Resurgam, how kind of you to send your good wishes. I hope you enjoy your own meet up.

I'm hoping the noise from the Celtic Connections events drowns out our noisy chat, just in case we are too noisy are in danger of being evicted! grin

Marydoll Tue 14-Jan-20 19:33:30

Daddima, so sorry to hear your sad news. We will be thinking of you on Friday. ?

Perhaps, you will feel up to coming to the next one, and there will be a next one! Hope to meet you then.

jacq10, I see there is snow up your way. Fingers crossed we will see you.

Thanks to those who have confirmed.

I’m so sorry to hear this Daddima. Thoughts will be with you on Friday ?

Daddima Tue 14-Jan-20 18:16:42

Sadly, the Bodach‘s melanoma and dementia have taken him, and his funeral is on Friday, but I’ll hopefully make the next one.

Grammaretto Tue 14-Jan-20 16:24:19

I'll be there come snaw, rain or hurricane...
I hope to meet Elegran on the bus.
Thanks for organising Marydoll

The big goddess Storm, will have her first outing on Saturday which I will miss, but she may travel around Scotland. My pal helped to build her.

I’m planning to be there on Friday. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Thanks for sorting all this Marydoll.

Resurgam123 Tue 14-Jan-20 13:40:41

Enjoy your get together folks. I am having a local get together with former colleagues .
We can't do Glasgow but , We are having a meal on the same date. Friday 17th January

We can't compete with Glasgow but the Legs Of Man in Cheshire on the A50 but will have the same good social intentions.
Have a good time. And Enjoy.

Kalu Tue 14-Jan-20 12:04:49

I will definitely be coming on Friday. Looking forward to meeting everyone

Many thanks for arranging this Mary. See you soon

Unless there is 6ft of snow I should be with you all!! The weather forecast is looking okay for the weekend. I can see a fair covering of snow on the Monadhliaths out my kitchen window this morning but blue skies and sunshine out the front. I usually make it down to Glasgow around now to catch something at Celtic Connections but couldn't find anything this time but still going making a weekend of it with DD and SIL.

Bump!

Brunette10 Mon 13-Jan-20 13:49:44

Such a shame I can't manage Fridays, however I hope you all have a good time and great chat - will be thinking of you all.

Marydoll Mon 13-Jan-20 12:47:07

Good morning all,

I have just spoken to the catering manager at the Cocert Hall, about keeping seats for us.
As Celtic Connections is on, it will be busy and it may be difficult to seat us all together, but they will try.
I will be there from 12.30 (all being well) to try and sort things.

These are the people I think are coming. Apologies if I have omitted anyone.
