I'm really sorry - I wont be able to make it this year again.

It is to risky while I am waiting for my operation - dont want to find myself far from home and being taken ill again.

Really sorry Hazel - i so wanted to meet you again. Will have to catch you at one of the other meets x
 
Di, I want you to be well, never you bother about Glasgow.

I am on the end of a phone any time you want a chat, a rant, whatever.....

I would love to have met with you all but can't - but do wish you all a good time.🙂
 
Be thinking of you as I service the rooms, arrange the next one in Oct/Nov when I'm not working.
Of course if you want a diabetes weekend later in the year I've got lots of rooms.

Hello. I havent been on for while but just saw today there is a meet in Glasgow at the good old Counting House on 09th June.
I live in Glasgow and I would love to come along and meet you all if thats ok.

If anyone needs any further train travel advice - I work for Scotrail Train Planning - so should know the timetables by now - any questions about best trains to get etc - just ask.

I will check there is no engineering works or special events on that day that may delay journeys for those travelling to the City.

See you soon

Excellent! I will look forward to meeting you Melissa 🙂
 
We have been looking for somewhere nice or a bit different to stay so we can make it a nice weekend. Sherbrook castle is close but a bit expensive even with their special offer, but we would really like to stay somewhere like that(old castle) any other ideas from the locals?

Would really love a castle, especially a haunted one:D to make it fun.



Oh forgot to mention, I have work sorted so we can go lol.
 
Terrific Paul! Can't help with the castle I'm afraid, might be a bit short notice to book though.

The Bothwell hotel, mansionhouse road G42 (not to be confused with Bothwell bridge hotel) is lovely we stayed there on our wedding night. It is a 5 min walk to the nearest bus stop and then a 15 mins bus journey into Glasgow city centre. It is also 10 mins walk from Shawlands that has lots of pubs and a few nice restaurants. Also very close to the nearest major hospital... It is not a castle but a big old house and not sure if it is haunted...

The ivory hotel is just down the road from the Bothwell hotel I have been in the resturant lots of time but don't know what the accommodation is like.

The carnbooth house hotel is supposed to be nice - I have never been in it but it is a bit more expensive it is also not easy to get to by public transport but supposed to be beautiful.

If you want cheap and basic there is a premier inn in the Gorbals area (about 10 mins walk to Glasgow city centre). There are also travel lodges, ibis and best westerns if you are looking for "chain" hotels.

King park hotel is another nice hotel - again I have only ever had food there so don't know what the rooms are like.
 
Brilliant news - that will make the Glasgow meet!

There are 2 on my neck of the woods which are very nice.

The Eglinton Arms in Eaglesham - is an old coaching house facing onto the village green. It was recently upgraded and modernised.

or

Crutherland House Hotel, on the outskirts of East Kilbride - is a country house which sits in it's own grounds

both about 30- 40 mnutes from the centre of Glasgow

Brilliant you are both coming along.
