Hi I'm located in Ayrshire but wondered if any one would be interested in a coffee/ lunch meet up here or Glasgow?

Baggs, why do you feel the need to continue this, when you have already made it clear how you feel?
I was hoping that the thread would just end and things would settle down,

I will repeat, as well you know, that was discussed in private over only a couple of days, was suitable dates. We had a fair number of prospective dates and were trying to work out what was best.

The plan as we always do, was to start a thread with the details, once confirmed. That way anyone interested could register their interest or just turn up on the day..

To outsiders, it may appear that we are a clique, nothing can be further from the truth. There are nineteen grans on the chat and as far as I know, none of us realised that we were being exclusive.

I think it is now now time for me to relinquish my role as Grand Facilitator, I have realised how incompetent I am. That is not me being a drama queen, but I am genuinely upset and annoyed that you feel that way.
Sometimes posters (me included) do not realise the impact of their words on others.

For me, the anticipation of the Christmas meet up, something I was looking forward to, has suddenly lost its appeal.

I am off to spend the day with my granddaugher and have nothingfurther to add. to add.

Don't put me in the wrong, Mary. You asked me a question. I answered it honestly. A little lengthily perhaps, but I'm not the only one doing that.

I get that you don't understand what my problem was and I'm OK with that. Cheers.

Pax.

I agree with baggs if you want a private group that's fine no need to advertise it here. You seem to think this is your group. I did meet up but you were the only person that never took time to chat. Everyone else was lovely, maybe you should take a back seat for a while.

Larra that’s rubbish.

Larra I certainly did welcome you and we discussed your nervousness about coming.
You told me as we were leaving the venue, that you had a lovely time at and you were looking forward to the next one.

I PMd you a few times, alerting you to the fact we were meeting up and had a chat group to keep in touch between meet ups. You never responded, perhaps you don't read PMs.

Therefore, I really don't understand your post at all. Why would you want to stir up all this unpleasantness again?

I am not even going to defend myself, those who know me, know that I am not how you portray me.

I have been to only one Glesga Grannies meeting and was made very welcome, particularly by Marydoll. I hope to be in Glasgow at a time when I can go to another one, but sadly, not this time. Have fun, everyone! brewwine
