[HERE TINTIN]

Yep, me and my other half will be there, well I will be he might put in an appearance to guide me in and out again !! You going to be there Northie ? I think I will book a hotel today as near as possible. Stayed in a holiday Inn express last time in Glasgow and I think that was quite close 🙂

 

[AlisonM]

L and I will be there sometime after 12. We're booked into the Premier Inn by the station, just round the corner from the square. L is wanting to raid Sauchiehall Street, but we'll have a couple of hours at least to spend meeting and nattering. Then we plan to play tourist on Sunday before heading for our trains home.

 

[Hazel]

MargB will be there too and she is staying overnight too.

I will be there too

Looking forward to meeting everyone again

TinTin

Premier inn is in walking distance, I think that is where Alison will be staying

 

[AlisonM]

It's this one TinTin. Very handy for L's trains and mine and all the bits we want to do. There is one closer though: Here.

 

[HERE TINTIN]

Hi Alison booked in to the Holiday Inn Express for the night, stayed there before and it is about 10 minutes from the Counting House. I will be the slightly yellow, butterball, stumbling around !!

 

[AlisonM]

Hah! Not sure what colour I'm going to be. I'm back and blue at the moment. But you can't miss the two walking sticks and the tall girl at my side.

 

[Northerner]

That's the West End Festival Alison. It's a great day out. I live in the West End. We have the Mela happening too in Kelvingrove Park around that time.

L and I are planning to go down to the Mela on Sunday for an hour or so before we have to catch our trains. If the weather's awful isn't there a gallery and a museum handy as well? We do like a bit of Kulchah. 😎

We may pay homage to the poor GSA on the way past as well, it's on the way to our hotel.

Yes Alison Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum are beside the park, you can't miss it. They gave an exhibition on just now called How Glasgow Flourished which I am extremely interested in. I think I am going to pop along for a wee while tomorrow to see it. I'm personally praying for good weather, it's not been the best here lately and Glasgow's a much nicer place when it's sunny.

 

[Northerner]

Not long to go, anyone else coming along? 🙂

I'm afraid I can't make it this year, I've spent hours trying to find a cheap enough way to make it possible, but failed. With my current finances I can't justify a £200 day trip

I am sure that you will all have a great time, I will miss not being there!

 

[MargB]

Oh, that is sad Northey! Thought you were going for sure this year and had already arranged everything.

Will see you in Manchester but we will miss you in Glasgow.
