I know this is short notice but I wondered how the grannies who make it to the Glesga meets feel about a get together Tuesday 14th March? Usual place, Concert Hall cafe at 1.00.

I've just found out I'm going to be in town that week and thought I'd suggest a meet as we haven't had one for a while. Here's hoping the good weather holds till then. Be good to see you all again if we can make it.

I would have loved to come but am childminding in Oban from the 9th till 13th or 14th, don’t know which yet. I’ll come if I can, it’s unlikely but I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed!
Hope your husband’s surgery goes well weenanni x

Another wee bump to keep the momentum going. Hope you've all survived that night of wind.

Oh I missed this. Can you put me down please bridie.

bridie54 Sat 18-Feb-23 13:47:43

Certainly. it's great to hear you can make it baubles.

Another wee bump to keep this fresh and maybe seen by some more grans who want to join us in Glasgow.

Hello ladies of Glesga smile
I have a favour to ask please.
If any of you are in touch with Sylvia (Esspee) please can you give her my very, very best wishes.
She was incredibly generous and kind to me, and I miss seeing her about here.
Thank you, and have a lovely meet up, here’s hoping that Mary can make it 🤞 😊

Marydoll Thu 23-Feb-23 14:50:41

I'm in touch with Espee, Fanny.
Sasdly, she is no longer on GN.

Marydoll Sat 25-Feb-23 12:36:18

Bumping again.

I think all the usual suspects are going, but it would be lovely to see some new faces.

bridie54 Tue 28-Feb-23 18:51:04

Another wee bump just now. I'll do a list later tonight of who's coming to our meet and the 'possibles' but have to run just now.
It's 2 weeks today so not that long. smile

So sorry I can’t make it but hope you all have a lovely time x

weenanni59 Fri 10-Mar-23 14:28:24

I think I may be able to join you ladies! My husband is now getting his surgery on the 14 th and I’m not allowed in to visit before 18.00 😀👍

Marydoll Fri 10-Mar-23 15:17:12

I'm in touch with Espee, Fanny.
Sasdly, she is no longer on GN.

Sorry Mary, I missed you reply to me.
Please can you give Esspee my very best wishes. I miss her posts and pms

Marydoll Sat 11-Mar-23 11:15:36

I did message her about Tuesday, but got no reply.

Kalu Sat 11-Mar-23 12:48:05

I received a message yesterday that DH’s speech and language clinic have found him an appointment…..2.00 -Tuesday.

As he still has problems speaking I go along to ensure all is clearly conveyed including questions I have.

Hopefully next time but I am sure you will all have a great time as usual.

Ellie Anne Sun 12-Mar-23 20:48:55

I’ve just seen this. Didn’t know about the Glasgow grans. Can’t do Tuesday but would be good to get to one of your get togethers.

Grammaretto Sun 12-Mar-23 22:52:28

I still intend to come so hope some folk will be there!
Sorry you can't make it Kalu but glad DH has an appointment.
I hope you can manage weenanni

Jangran99 Sun 12-Mar-23 23:00:14

You would be made very welcome Ellie Anne,
Keep an eye on the ‘Meet ups’ forumsmile

I think Glasgow was the first meet up for Gransnet members and remember it well. I still miss all the lovely, bright and humorous women I met for the first time face to face. I stayed for a couple of days in Kelvingrove and had a lovely and hugely interesting time.

bridie54 Mon 13-Mar-23 07:05:15

Almost time now smile and I arrived in weegie land last night.
It's a shame you can't make it this time Ellie Anne but there will more meet ups, hopefully in the summer with better weather too.

Marydoll Mon 13-Mar-23 08:08:22

I'm getting quite miffed about not going, I shall miss the good company and lively conversation.

I believe Glasgow City Council, has issued a noise abatement order for the Concert Hall, after being informed of the meet up. 😉

Grammaretto Mon 13-Mar-23 08:31:28

I first met you in Edinburgh Marydoll and was so impressed at the way grans travel long distances for meetups didnt someone come from York?, I was determined to get to the Glasgow one.
I wasn't disappointed grin
