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.

Is it Frank Ifield?

Marydoll Fri 18-Mar-22 07:50:37

For Greenfinch . It is obviously Glasgow, but that's all I know!

Marydoll Fri 18-Mar-22 07:45:47

Thank you Greenfinch, the venue was the Glasgow Concert Hall, Cafe Bar.
I am not sure about the photo, we were too busy chatting.

That's a low number og grans. Pre pandemic, we had seventeen attendees! The noise was horrendous! ?

What a lovely photo of you all. I keep looking at it . Where are you and what is the picture above all your heads? We have lovely meet ups in Berkshire but can only round up about 5 grans maximum.

Aw, lovely photo! Glad you had such a good time.???

Marydoll Thu 17-Mar-22 20:51:56

Thank you! We are indeed bonnie lassies.

ixion Thu 17-Mar-22 20:50:00

Oh, this is tantalising! I see Marydoll (from the wedding pics) and Jenny. What a lovely group and a credit to this site.
I'm so lucky to have found you all when lockdown started.
Thank you!?

Marydoll Thu 17-Mar-22 20:23:18

Don't we scrub up well?

ixion Thu 17-Mar-22 14:08:35

I don't know about stopping trains, Bobbie, Jenny, , but you certainly stopped the traffic?

Marydoll Thu 17-Mar-22 13:49:52

ixion you should have seen what the others were up to … I don’t think we’ll be invited back in a hurry ?

It was indeed a great day out!

Grandmabatty Thu 17-Mar-22 13:12:40

You look very like her!!!!

ixion Thu 17-Mar-22 13:12:27

Well, Jenny, I hear you were hardly inconspicuous , standing on the steps waving your red knickers on a stick.
That's one way to make sure you are recognised?

brook2704 Thu 17-Mar-22 13:02:56

Well of course I’ll have to contact my Agent to check the fee but it should be fine
Thank you marydoll ?
Love Jenny x

Grannmarie Thu 17-Mar-22 11:03:52

That's fine, Marydoll. Thank you. ?

Marydoll Thu 17-Mar-22 08:02:24

Good morning all! I have PMd you to ask your permission to post a couple of photos of the meeet up.

Probably too late to add this, but thanks to everyone for yesterday. I have been busy today and just remembered the eggs which you so kindly brought. Topsy. The coloured ribbons are a lovely thoughtful touch and I’m going to share them tomorrow at lunch with some retired colleagues.
I would love to meet again in the summer, you were all smashing!

baubles Wed 16-Mar-22 11:21:18

Topsy, I’ve just taken the little bag of eggs from my bag and realised the significance of the ribbons. Thank you. ??

Esspee Wed 16-Mar-22 00:43:19

It was lovely meeting you all today, so glad Marydoll put me right or I would have been turning up tomorrow. ?
My OH enjoyed the eggs Topsy and sends his thanks. Looking forward to meeting you all again in the summer.

Grannmarie Tue 15-Mar-22 23:00:27

Thank you Topsy for the eggs, very kind!
Shame about your earring Marydoll.

Grammaretto Tue 15-Mar-22 21:40:21

Thanks Topsy for the eggs.
And happy birthday Stilllearning

Grammaretto Tue 15-Mar-22 21:38:52

It was really lovely to see you all. I had good speaks to most of you but not enough with others.
There are a couple of photos on my camera but I'll not go public with them until I have sent them to Marydoll for inspection grin I think Espee took the photos to avoid being in them.smile
I began to write this several hours ago.shock

Kalu Tue 15-Mar-22 21:04:23

Thank you from DH and myself for the mini eggs Topsy. All gone. ?

I was only in two shops Baubles and couldn’t resist a couple of great bargains. You should have come shopping with me?

Buggeration to lose an earring Marydoll?
Thank you though to you and Bridie for arranging today. ??

baubles Tue 15-Mar-22 20:43:50

What a shame about your earring.

Marydoll Tue 15-Mar-22 20:29:42

Baubles, I thought the same thing, when I saw all the lovely stuff.
A dress which I did not need caught my eye. It was reduced to £109, I put it back!!!

I did find the missing bus pass, but sadly not the earring. Those face masks are a curse!!!
