Glasgow meet up Friday 17th January.

I always enjoy reading the Glasgow meet thread.
It all gets sorted out so efficiently (plus, I love Scotland)

Dinnae fash yurself, basically, 'am a fishwife!!!

Counting the sleeps - why not - my first GN meet-up. ?

You'll be back for more, feelingmyage !

It will be my first GN meet-up too, Feelingmyage55, and I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone! 12.30-1.00 sounds fine.

I may have to stay over. Coastal Connections on 18th is very appealing too. Such a lot going on in your city!!

If you are happy to have your RL name on the badge, please PM me, so that I can get started. I'm a busy lady, as I have the oldest GNetter spreadsheet on the go. (Albeit at a snail's pace ?)
Don't worry if you will be later than one o'clock, we will be there for hours!!!

I should have said first names only needed.

I think I have a name badge somewhere. Will look it out. But I'm happy to be called Baggs anyway. That's what soop calls me ?

Still no confirmation from Baubles and Cascats, who I think said they were interested.

I'm beginning to wonder if I imagined that they had shown an interest.

Sorry Marydoll, changing internet providers just now and old one seems to have taken a dislike to Gransnet! and keeps telling me unsuitable site! Whatever have you lot been doing?
Hopefully you are all considered safe now and it will let me stay on until new provider starts.
But yes please am definately planning to come, looking forward to it very much

Calling any other Glesca grannies, or anyone else out there who would love to join us, you will be very welcome.

Are there any grans from Doon the Watter, Lanark way, Dunbartonshire, Stirlingshire and places in between?

Had a couple of days visiting Glasgow area with DD and did a quick recce in the Concert Hall near lunch time. Great coffee and cakes and they do a soup (lentil or roasted red pepper and tomato was the choice yesterday) and sandwich combo for £7.50. It is so handy for Buchanan Street bus station.

Soon the watter - haven’t heard that since my mum died.

Thanks, Jacq! It sounds ideal.
Hope you made safely up the road!

I would have loved to have joined you Marydoll. I even looked up how far the Concert Hall is from Queen St. Station, but sadly I'm already booked on a WI jam-making course in Oxford that day.

Another time, perhaps.

It sounds as though it's going to be great fun.

oldgoat it would have been great to see you again.

Central Station and Queen Street Station are both only minutes away from the Concert Hall, which makes it the perfect venue.

Perhaps we will meet up in Edinburgh, if I manage to get to the Burns lunch.

Hope you can make it to the Burns lunch Marydoll
Must get my name on the list. Can't resist those haggis, neeps and tatties.

I'm new to posting and navigating the GN site so looking forward to maybe getting some expert advice at the meet up. Does RL mean real name ? and how do I PM you Marydoll

Good Morning Nanabas, lovely to hear from you.
RL means real life, but GN is a virtual escape for some of us and can become very addictive.

At the very top of this page on the right hand side, you will see a box, which says INBOX.

Write the name of the person you wish to send your PM to and Voila!!

I will send you a PM to start you off, just click on it to reply to me.
Looking forward to meeting you. We are a friendly bunch, so no need to be nervous. Just to warn you, we will all probably be talking at once!

I have sent you a PM, Nanabas.

Merry Christmas Marydoll

My name badge should be... surprise surprise... Carole or Carole S if there is more than one Carole.

Looking forward to meeting everyone, especially as I just heard on Christmas Day that I am going to be a Gran, in August. So excited and looking forward to getting advice from the Glasgow Gransnet group.

Have a brilliant Hogmanay and new year.
Carole S

Bumpity bump!

Congratulations, Carole.

I will contact the Concert Hall at the end of next week to ask about putting some tables together.
Watch this space!

How lovely Carole ! Congratulations

I’m so sorry but I’m not able to make it after all. We have a brand new puppy who can’t be left for several hours and DH is off on a jolly to London that day.
