Has a google @Carolg and came across the Auctioneers. 4/5 mins from Central and Queens, it says it is accessible and does food. Looked on Trip Advisor and has mixed reviews. Anyone heard of it? It’s on North Court.

Never heard of it, but don’t go out much and not in Glasgow. If anyone has, could you call them maybe, and the counting house. They are not playing nice with there phone. They have a life apparently. I’m away to Falkirk tomorrow and won’t be back till pubs are getting busy again. Ta.
 
I will have two carers, but they were going to leave me in the door and go have lunch themselves.

A venue. Other than the lounge in the Grand Hotel, I don't know anything close to the station. I will usually go to a small place over in the exchange. Zizzi's is big enough and sort of accessible. But not near. I generally go up to Buchanan square, or to ask Italian or DiMaggio's up that way, near the cinema. That's far AND uphill. There is a cafe Nero around from the station, on the other side. Union street. It's pretty big, and accessible, but not especially nice.

I really don't want to ask the girls to push me so far. I can't imagine taking a London cab with my leg sticking straight out in front of me. Nor the bus. There a bit of time. Let me think on it. I will call about availability, and I'll ask someone who works up there.

I'll get my maps out, and my pencil behind my ear in the morning. If anyone else had an idea, pls don't imagine I'm taking over.

I know the Auctioneers. It’s pretty good, not brilliant menu, but they do salads, wraps, toasties, burgers, steaks, - the usual big pub mix, and you can prebook space, which is important. It will do for our purposes if they can cope with us on wheels.
 
What about The Society Room in West George Street, a bit closer to Queen Street than Central....?

Carol has tried that and they can’t accommodate us. The Auctioneers has an online form you can fill in and request a table, if no one minds I will fill it in and they said they will get back with answer in 48 hrs.

Fully booked
 
@Carolg @mikeyB @Uller @Hazel @SadhbhFiadh @Ingressus @HOBIE @C&E Guy. I have requested a table at The Auctioneers, they should get back to me within 48 hours. I have mentioned we have two wheelchair users and asked for an 11 start, the earliest they had on form was 12. Will let you know outcome, in the meantime if anyone has any other ideas let @Carolg or I know. Nothing is set in stone. Cheers!
 
Thanks eggyg. I am so pleased you have done this. Here’s hoping it will be ok. I couldn’t even leave a message at counting house!!

Work is totally getting in the way of life lol
 
Hi folks, I have good news and bad news. The good news is The Auctioneers is booked for 11am Friday 16th March. It’s all on one level and there is an accessible toilet near to the bar. The bad news is I can’t now join you! It’s all for a good cause though, I have been offered a DAFNE course running from 12 to the 16th March. After years of fighting for it I was hardly in a position to turn it down. I know you will all understand. I am still happy to be the contact for the booking, so if things need changing etc I am happy to sort it. Will just have to have another one shortly afterward! @Carolg @Uller @mikeyB @Hazel @SadhbhFiadh
 
That’s sgreat but sad you won’t be there. If you don’t mind being the contact that would be great thanks
 
Oh dear, we will just have to have yet another Glasgow meet

Your DAFNE comes first
 
I have just spotted, again I right this is planned for FRIDAY 16th?
 
Yes, 16 March, Friday.
Eggy, good you're on your course, sad you won't be at the meet this time, glad you booked the pub.
Thank you.
S.
 
I won't manage

1. It currently attend a course on a Friday morning, so would not manage into Glasgow until 2ish

Sorry
 
So sorry you'll miss it Hazel.
I hope that you get a job by then so you can take a day off.
S.
 
Sorry you can’t make it Hazel. Hopefully we can all make another date soon.good luck with your course and job hunt. Carol
 
Embarrassingly, I had to Google what DAFNE meant. I'd never heard of it before.

I didn't think it was for Discrimination Against Foreboding North Easterners.

As if! You North Easterners are my nearest neighbours and if it wasn’t for the Freeman Hospital myself and Mr Eggy wouldn’t be here to tell the tale. Also @HOBIE and @Vince_UK would unfriend me! 😉
