I've been to this for the past couple of years and you couldn't wish to meet a friendlier bunch of people, so do try and get there if you can! 🙂

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it this year because of finances (well, it is a 1,000 mile round-trip for me! 😱), but I'm sure that the regular attendees will make anyone new to the Meet very welcome and instantly at home 🙂

Attending:
Hazel

MargB
AlisonM

oh Alan, sorry to hear you won't manage, such a shame.:(

I'll be there at some point
 
Sorry you can't make it this year Alan :( you will be missed.
 
Count me in! Just booked my ticket and looking forward to meeting up with you all.
 
yey Margaret -great news, hurrah!!
 
Thanks Hazel, I was toying with the idea of going down on the Friday and staying overnight but have decided to do it in the one day. Should get into Glasgow Central around 12.30.
 
I'll meet you at the railway station - I assume it will be Central Station rather than Queen Street. yey!!!!
 
I may be able to make it for once, if my back benefits get paid in time. There's a train that gets in just after mid-day. It would be great to finally meet some of you.
 
yey - good news Alison
 
I won't be able to attend - sorry x
 
you are allowed - Harry needs you
 
Is the Glasgee meet always in early June? One year there is a good chance I will be able to line it up with visiting family in perthshire and pop over to you all, hope you have a good time.

🙂
 
If all this works out, my train gets into Queen Street at 12.09, just time for me to hobble over to G Central. Should I wear a pink carnation and carry a copy of the Herald? Or will the pair of purple paisley pattern walking sticks be enough of a hint? :D

Wear all of them Alison! 😛 The Counting House is only a block away from Queen Street Station. You come out of the front entrance of Queen Street Station that brings you out at the Millenium Hotel. Go to the traffic lights and cross over the road but don't cross diagonally over to George Square. When you cross the road the Counting House is at the end of that block, you just turn the corner at the end of the block to get the entrance. 🙂

I would hope to be going Northerner. After all I only live about half an hour or less from there. 10 minute bus ride to connect me with either a few minutes on the train to Queen Street or 10 minute trip on the underground. 🙂 Shame you can't go Northerner it would have been nice to meet one of the first people to welcome me to the forum but I realise the problems financially and distance too. 🙂

I'm gutted I can't make it as I really love it up there. For me it is a 13 hour journey and the same coming back! 😱 Maybe if we'd had a milder winter that finished when it was supposed to I would have more money left over after paying my huge fuel bill!
 
Are we going to do something cultural, or sit and gossip all afternoon?

You're not kidding...I'm wondering still when we will be able to put our heating off and save some money.
