I'm going to be at DD's house near Glasgow 14-23 March and wondered if anyone fancied meeting up then. I've never been to a meet up in Glasgow so maybe if anyone has and knows a good venue they could say where would be good.

That’s lovely stilllearning a very good reason to celebrate!
Marydoll I really hope your DD can work her magic so that you can join us - please!

Oh how exciting!!!

Thanks Jan, we are working on it!
No show without punch, eh?

I've just seen this Marydoll, please let there be a way to sort out the MOT, it won't be the same without you there.

Oh good Marydoll, an event not to be missed by the sound of it ?.

Marydoll Fri 04-Feb-22 20:26:18

Jax, it's a bit complicated. That was the only day it could be fitted in around various medical appointments and the golf days. It's a fair bit away from us, but I have a service plan with that company, so it needs to be there.
I've just spoken to my DD and she has come up with a few solutions. Hopefully I will sort something out.

I’m sure the MOT could be rescheduled Marydoll there’s lots of flexibility on MOT timings, it would be a shame if you missed it. Could MrMD take it and get a lift?

I have just realised, when I went to put the date in my calendar, I cannot go. My car is booked in for it's MOT that day. ? Of all the days! I cannot change it, as I need someone to take me to pick it up at the end of the day and I wouldn't be back in time. Oh, bu**er!

However, I will start the new thread.

Jangran99 Fri 04-Feb-22 19:02:56

It's getting up that will cause me most bothersmile

Marydoll Fri 04-Feb-22 18:50:44

I think I will be able to cover three seats, due to my lockdown derriere!

Jangran99 Fri 04-Feb-22 18:40:23

I’ve PM’d you Marydoll , and Bridie, with the names from our last meet. There’s no doubt so many bums will want a seat that early arrivals will have to recline across 3 seats and claim others with coats and bags!!!grin
That’s ‘bags’ with one ‘g’ not our own Baggs?

bridie54 Fri 04-Feb-22 18:25:12

I’m more than happy for you to do the new thread Marydoll. You seem to know the drill on here.
I’m just pleased it seems to be so popular and hope that means bums on seats on the day.

Marydoll Fri 04-Feb-22 16:58:15

bridie, do you want to start the new thread, in case we end up with two and confusion reigns.

Espee, it would be great to meet you.

Grammaretto, I am so pleased you are planning to come.

Marydoll Fri 04-Feb-22 16:56:15

Jan, bridie is organising, I'm sure she would appreciate a copy.

If you send me the list, I will message those who may not have seen the thread.

Jangran99 Fri 04-Feb-22 16:48:57

Hello Marydoll and Baggs, all well enough here and it would be wonderful to see you again, and all the lovely Glesca Grannies.
The 15th suits me for a meet.
I have a list of Grans at our last visit to the Concert Hall( and a photie!,) I can send it PM to you Mary.x

Esspee Fri 04-Feb-22 16:34:38

Hi, I’m out of the country at the moment, scheduled to return to Glasgow early March. (Kind of hoping we will be stranded here in the sun) so you can put me down as a potential participant for now please.

EllanVannin Fri 04-Feb-22 16:29:31

Oh how exciting for you all. The rest of us will expect a running commentary after the meet which will be just as exciting. I love hearing about meet-ups grin

Grammaretto Fri 04-Feb-22 16:17:31

I hope I am on the list. smile bridie

Oh, and I will do a lateral flow test before I meet you all.

Great idea for everyone, we tend to be squashed up.
