Glasgow for me is a whopping great hike. It would however be interesting to put faces to some of you scallywags and individuals of dubious character. I can not absolutely promise to be there. I can however definitely promise to try my damnedest to be there. If I can make it on the day then it will be my very real pleasure to meet you all. Here's hoping folks 🙂

Bet it's not as far as it is for me! 😉 Hope you can make it! 🙂
 
Considering coming as only 1 hr 10 mins on train from Carlisle and just worked out it's my Saturday off work. ( work every other). Usually babysit on my Sat off but sure hubby can cope with the little monsters, err mean darlings! Will let you know ASAP. Elaine.
 
Will be good to meet you

Ah, that will be brilliant if you can make it Elaine! 🙂
 
Hope to make this, just back from hols so will depend on funds. Decent pub in city centre been there a few time on match day
 
Hurrah! Flights and hotel booked! 🙂 I'd forgotten that booking a flight is like pulling teeth, with all the little extras and add-ons they keep throwing at you - most annoying of all was when I finally got through to the end and came to pay, the bl***y thing told me my session had timed out and I had to start again! 😡
 
See you there alan
 
I know you meant other Alan, but I'll see you there too.
 
Great Alan too

I would have loved to come and meet you all, but with my moblility problems and associated fibromyalgia issues, I won't be able to make it, just a little too far away from me. I am so grateful to be a part of the forum though.. and hope you all have a good meet! 🙂

Snap re: Fibro Carol :( but it's handy for me. If I feel up to it, I'll post nearer the time .... it would be great to say hi!
 
Just booked my train ticket! Yeah! Arrive into Glasgow Central at 12.01, am I correct in thinking I turn right out of station and the pub is down a bit on the corner? Do I wear a red rose in my lapel or carry The Times? Looking forward to meeting everyone. Elaine.

Not such a daft question Elaine. Do we have a secret handshake, or announce "I'm here" over the tannoy, or just hover around until Alan (northerner) rounds us up ...I don't have the skills to put a photo on my profile, so look out for a silver haired lady(???) with a big bag of crochet squares- no please no bag lady jokes
 
Great to hear you can make it Elaine! 🙂 I daren't give directions in case I get things wrong, but I do know it's right by George Square, so easy enough to find 🙂 I will try to remember to bring the Diabetes Fairy with me, although I'm not sure what time I will arrive as it depends on my flight up going smoothly 😱 Perhaps if another member who is definitely going to be there can exchange mobile numbers with you, then you could call when you arrive? (Use private messages if you want to exchange personal information - click on 'Inbox' and 'Start conversation') 🙂

Well, I just look like my avatar but without the posh frock! ( I was at a wedding). I'm vertically challenged, 5ft 2ins, darkish short spiky hair, probably have jeans on, my regular uniform! I definitely won't have any crafty things with me as I am the least crafty person ever. I once "knitted" myself a tank top sort of thing and in my enthusiasm I stitched up the arm holes. Never tried again! What time will you be there Carol?
 
Hi Elaine. Not sure but I will look up bus times and pm you my phone number. Like the thought of an armhole-less tank top. Carol
