Me and robin are coming in on that day, not sure about getting a pram (might put him in the carrier if easier depending if he's a fat lump then lol)on the train but if sandy and annie are getting on the train (at alloa) am sure they help me out. Not sure about money (the amount thats is ) for presents this year so might just be window shopping for me.

Hi Julie, thanks for the invite I will try and get along to say hello to everyone. Karen and Calum have made good suggestions for places to meet. There is a pub on the corner of George Square and St Vincent Street called the Counting  House which is very reasonably priced for drinks and pub grub and it is very spacious.
If you are travelling from Dunoon, ferry and train, you will come into Central station which is 5 mins walk from George Sq.

Apart from having to find someone to feed puppies for me I will be there - and yes, Linz, will help with Robin.

Linz

I'm coming and would also like somewhere that we can go for the price of a coffee.
I heard that the Lighthouse has just gone bust which will mean that the doocot is out.
Does anyone know what the cafe at the Gallery of Modern Art is like?

It's right outside Queen's st station and gallery cafes are often quiet when shops are busy.

The cafe is in the basement and shares the space with the gift shop. It's tight for space especially if there are quite a few meeting.

The Lighthouse is operating under administration and will remain open until January when the administrators, council and other relevant parties will make a decision on its viability. Doocot is a privately owned cafe renting the space and remains a profitable going concern. There would be no issue using Doocot for the meet, although I'm perhaps noting a preference for elsewhere for other reasons.

Does everyone have a TAS badge?  I think Dan still has some - and they're free.  If we all wear our badges we won't have to go up to everyone else and look stupid when they say 'wt * is TAS?'

That's good news, my vote is for the Lighthouse then, Its close to both stations and has a lift for prams etc and is usually quiet

[marigold]

Oh and I'd love a TAS badge.
I've just henna'd my hair which makes me look a bit bright but I'm hoping that it will have faded by then becasue its too bright even for me.

I did email Dan for three a while back - but they didn't arrive 

Maybe you can bring me some to the meeting Annie

Hi Callum,
The Lighthouse will suit me (I'm not fit enough to ice skate at the moment - just a dream -
Was worried about how far it was to walk for Sandy and Annie - but if its nearby Queen St Station then lets meet there - easier for Linz and looks a great place.
Shall we say 12-45-1.00.

I will hopefully be there for two to three hours depending on my train back to Dunoon.

So will wait to meet whoever can make it - should be great.
I'm not flying home that evening now, going back to Dunoon, and flying home the next evening to be at Prestwick for 7pm. Saves me having to bring my luggage to the meeting too

[Nisbet]

Will ask Pretty Please to get my work covered that day and hopefully both Jonners and I can come and play too.  The only badge I have is one that says "I need hassle like a guinea-pig needs a fish-slice" ................don't spose that's appropriate!  It's a long story - probably had to be there!! No preference as to venue - will be so good to meet up with you guys. Well done Snoopy for getting the ball rollin'.  Til soon. N

[doganjo]

Ok, will see if Dan has any badges left and take them with me.  Just need to wait for pups now and find a puppy sitter for that day.
