Our Scotland - Christmas drink?Would be a fine chance to meet everyone but I understand we come from all over Scotland and the Globe! Would be a fine night or day out to meet up with some folk on here, anyone interested? I'm not back to Scotland til December 20th but it would be an idea.

Perth maybe? Only as it's near home  Anywhere else I'd need to get the last train home 
note I'm getting a bit old for bopping

Carol

I'm up for Perth, I'm from Carnoustie originally and going back to there for Christmas with the parents so perth is a go-er for me.
it looks like it might just be me and you so far Carol?
|
carol
|
ok not everyone is hiding behind a pseudo
don't be shy 
Kev you'd need to be chaperoned, not sure how I'd explain to the other half I'm seeing a fella on a night out!
Edinburgh anyone? C'mon moddies some of you're from there, you could always show us the nightlife

I'd be up for it. Any excuse for a drink 
The 21st would probably be my last day at work so could do Edinburgh on 20th or 21st.
Could do Glasgow on any date.

3 so far
come on it may be my only chance of a Christmas drink!

Why not take him with you Carol?
I might be up for this if a suitable date and venue could be worked out to fit in with my work schedule.
|
carol
|
depends on circumstances regards kids, also not sure if it would be his scene, he's not a night out on the town guy (not that I'm in the habit!)
BG join in if you can are you heading this direction over the festive season?

Reckon I might be able to make drinks in either Edinburgh or Perth.
|
carol
|
Only bar I know in Perth is the BeeBar, my partner does vocals and keyboard there occasionally, it's stuck in a bit of a time warp, clientel are getting on (even I feel young when I'm there!) ........... one to avoid.
Perth or Edinburgh would do me, most favourable weekend is the one before Christmas, would need to juggle anything else.
regards
Carol
|
carol

only a suggestion what about an afternoon to evening session? If it's Edinburgh could meet in the lounge upstairs in the Wash (IF use it for meetings occasionally), then take it from there, note partners welcome, although I do suspect mine will stay at home.
Carol
|
kevin04
|
Yeah partners etc included as well - more the merrier.
How about the west coasters as well ?
I´m back the 20th December so any night is good for me -
perth, edinburgh, glasgow, wherver you guys think is best for the folks who are interested..
the idea of a afternoon to early evening section sounds good too,
|
carol
|
I'm for it, just need a few more bodies ........

Rinty

Perth is a lot harder to get to than Edinburgh or Glasgow would be better to suit the more forum members in my opinion.
|
carol
|
so Rinty is that a yes?
regards
Carol
|
Rinty
|
its a probably, depending on work, family, date, location etc
|
carol
|
cool
|
agentmancuso
|
If it's Glasgow, I'll try my best to make it.
|
carol
|
 wow an opportunity not to be missed
Agent could we nudge you towards Edinburgh? My sense of direction is dire and I've every chance of getting lost in Glasgow
regards
Carol
|
agentmancuso
|
Much as I like Edinburgh, it's unlikely to be a feasible option, what with work, children, serious difficulties leaving the pub in time for the last bus etc.
|
Reluctant Hero

Maybe there should be two polls. One for the date and one for the location. Alternatively, have it all on the one poll. Edin 20th, Glas 20th etc. That will give us an indication of numbers.
|
carol
|
Agent it wouldn't matter the location I'd have similar problems, as well as a 10 mile journey from Perth train station, that's why the suggestion of an afternoon to evening session.
RH yep a poll would be the best way forward, re dates 20th is a week day.
regards
Carol
|
kevin04
|
As most of us come from all over Scotland probably a early evening - late session is best for the ones who need to catch trains back to their homes,
I´m going to my parents at Xmas and they live in Angus,
I´m up for both options
|
Aventinian
|
Ha. I'd turn up to Glasgow or Edinburgh, but I imagine a fight would break out.

Not at all, I don´t agree with your politics but doesn't mean we wouldn't get along. Come along
|
carol

Av it would be great to meet both yourself and Agent
ok my preference
1. Edinburgh 2. Glasgow

afternoon - evening session
I turn into a pumpkin at midnight

Bit far for me. Will be going to Oban for Christmas. Going to Sctland before that for a few drinks before Christmas is pushing it just a little bit. I don't know of any late night trains from Glasgow/Edinburgh to Rhyl or Wrexham, at least none that'll arrive this side of 2010 anyway.

Aventinian,
Och do you really think anyone would pick a fight with you. Course we wouldn't.
What goes on in the forum stays in there anyway.
I don't know if I can manage unless hubby is home, but anyway, the rest of you have a great time if I can't make it and have one for me.

My preference would be
Glasgow
22/23 Dec
Afternoon - Evening

ok agent I think you're on the list as well, are you still game (if it's Glasgow), Rinty's quiet as well

|
Jimbo

Hi BG,
I shall hold you to that one day. 
To one and all,
In view of the fact that we are all well spread out over the country, would it not be best to select a venue somewhere central for those coming from NSE&W. How about Falkirk or Stirling which are pretty much central and easily accessible from all directions (only a suggestion).
I personally don't mind driving for a couple of hours or so and like RH suggests, would find an afternoon or early evening easier to accommodate. Unfortunately the only date I could probably manage due to work commitments would be Sunday, 23rd.
I'm quite happy to go with the flow on this and if I can manage to be there, I shall be.
|
carol
|
Cool tending to find from experience Public Transport on a Sunday ie trains are far and few between Sat would be my preference although could still manage a Sunday with a bit of a juggle
Stirling, Glasgow or Edinburgh would do me, Falkirk may need more than one train!
hey BG we can keep a bar stool for you just in case!
regards
Carol

If you're all intent on going for a drink ... and I promise I won't be joining you, since I have some respect for myself ...may I suggest you all meet up in the Capital of Scotland ...
