Glasgow meeting. 16th March. All welcome

[Carolg]

Hi all. Next Glasgow forum meeting is to be held 16th March 2018 at Sir John Moore in Argyle street, opposite Glasgow Central. It’s a Wetherspoon so cheap and cheerful. Start time flexible but usually around 11am. Come for as long or little time as you can make it.
Can you confirm if interested so the size of the table can be decided.
Hope to see you there folks. Carol

I will be there, my train gets in at 10.38. Will baggsy a table if in first, no steps!

 

[Carolg]

Great. Will get there as early as I can, probably just by 11 so only 1 change of train

 

[mikeyB]

I’ve sent a text to my chauffeur to see if he can do it on that date. I’ll let you know as soon as I get an answer. I would get there just before 12 I guess.

Here,s hoping he say yeh

 

[mikeyB]

I’m coming. Long way round, using the Lochaline ferry, but might be there by 11.🙂

 

[Hazel]

yey - all being well, see you then xx

 

[mikeyB]

It’ll be great to see you again Hazel as you missed the last one 🙂 x

Of course, the weather might defeat me, but as the new hybrid engined ferry between Fishnish and Lochaline has only been stopped from crossing once since its introduction ( and having a wonderfully gung ho captain) that is unlikely.

 

[Uller]

I’ll be along, should be able to make it no problem for 11.

 

[SadhbhFiadh]

Sorry I thought I sent this the other day.
I expect to be there by 11. Train arrives about 10:40.

As it only takes 5 minutes to stroll to the venue from the station, I do hope you aren’t planning to pop into the many betting shops you’ll pass, Sadhbh

That’s great Hazel

Hmm are they accessible? 🙂
No, I will be in my manual wheelchair, actually, my mother's old wheelchair - with awful wheels meant for old peoples homes, but the leg rest extends up so I'm in that. I have a broken leg. And I have someone coming with me to push, but even in my motor chair it's a bumpy ride. So an hour and 20 minutes on the train; then another hour to get around the corner! Well, I reckon a half hour, anyway!

OH! How do I resize a picture??!!

 

[mikeyB]

I’m all electric, Sadhbh. Can’t use self propelled. Do you book assisted travel on the train so they are ready with ramps? The venue and all the streets around are actually pretty smooth travelling, from experience. You’ll be better off using electric, because it’s an incline down from the station to the venue, and that means an incline up going home.

 

[mikeyB]

Mind you, that’s somebody else’s problem If they’re doing the shoving

 

[SadhbhFiadh]

Yes, I have booked, thanks.
Which chair depends on my x-ray on the 6th. If it's healed enough to have my foot down all day. Westmark would not modify the electric chair on a temporary basis.

[Cookieones]

I wish I lived closer to Scotland so I could meet all you lovely people.
Any one holding a similar meeting in the Nott’s / Derbyshire area?

I’m not surprised. Westmarc are just a boring NHS supplier. I just pay for my own transport kit. You can get flashier stuff that way

So far, I think that’s
