Rats!😡
I'm going on holiday on the 14th and so won't be able to make it. Loved Glasgow the last time I visited. Would be great to go back again now that I'm old enough to drink!

Hope you have a great holiday 🙂

 

[Hazel]

Can I remind everyone - Carol and I would love to see vistors from the north and south and all points in between in Glasgow

You are all welcome to come along

 

[rachelha]

I should be there for a bit in the afternoon, possibly with Nathan if the venue allows. Not sure if oh will be coming too.

 

[rachelha]

Not too long until this meet now. Are there any suggestions for venues?

Not yet Rachel but if you are bringing the wee guy I will make sure we pick somewhere child friendly. It will be somewhere in the city centre so that people can walk from Central Station or Buchanan Bus Station.

Come on chaps - we are looking for people to come along to the Glasgow meet.

There are several venues - some suitable for small numbers and some for large numbers.

Hi,

Bit late to this kind of thing and was wondering what the meet up involved? I'm slightly curious but I'm not wanting to turn up and discover the thoughts in my head were completely wrong!

Any idea of where in Glasgow? I'm only a 30 minute drive away so would seem like a waste not to turn up - but I'm not wanting to crash something that might be invitees-only or the like...

Actually, I've no idea what to expect so any detail will help my mind from wandering around it's own dodgy depths!

No agenda, just meeting up in a pub for a pint and a pie (or whatever) and having a good old chinwag about anything and everything - doesn't have to be about diabetes! It's just good to meet up with people who understand and perhaps to compare notes and make new friends. If you want a flavour, there are some pictures of some of the meets on the following links:

Hiya, everyone is welcome no invitees only 🙂. Dont have a definate place yet but it will be in the city centre so its accessable to all. We usually meet in a pub for some chit chat but not necessarily d related, but if you want to discuss your d then thats okay as well. I have only ever been to one previously (in Birmingham) and it was a great day.

Having conferred with my partner in crime AKA Hazel we have put our heads together...

The Counting House, 2 St Vincent Place, Glasgow, G1 2DH


http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-counting-house-glasgow

It is around the corner from Queen Street station, a 5 min walk from Buchanan Street Bus station and a 5 min walk from Glasgow Central Station. It is right in the heart of Glasgow, next to all the shops!

The will except children as long as the adults are eating a meal and the children need to be out by 8pm.

I can be available from 11am to meat people if needed just PM me with details what train/bus you are coming off.

Hope to see lots of you on the 11th

I'm coming! Spent a tortuous day on myriad websites trying to find some way to get there without breaking the bank, and think (hope!) I've succeeded 🙂
