Scottish Christmas meet-up - fancy a trip over to Edinburgh?

[prettybird]

Thread over here looking for those interested in a Christmas meet-up.

The last few years there has been a good night out organised in Edinburgh. Even though I'm a weegie, I've always enjoyed the trip over - and have met some interesting Mumsnetters in the process (starting from having to try to find the other weegies at Queen Street!)

I'll be going over - anyone else interested? :)

[prettybird]

I know it's along way away, but we Glaswegians usually like a piss-up chat !

[prettybird]

There are now a few, OK, 2 West Coasters who have expressed an interest - StayingDavidTennatsGirl and me.

Surely we can drum up some more support from this side of the country :)

[prettybird]

It's building up some momentum over here: there are now at least 3 of us going over from Glasgow. :)

im too nervous meeting mew people and im new on here

[prettybird]

Well, there's plenty of time yet Mummy03. Maybe if there is a meet-up in betweentimes in Glasgow where you can get a chance to meet some of us, you'll feel more confident :)

I didn't know anyone the first time I went to a meet-up!

[SlummyMummyAndProud]

I'd like to come (not been to a meet up yet) but I'm due on the 8th so probably not wise

[MummyO3]

Mummy03 - I think it was you who was originally from Milngavie. I used to live there too (opposite Cairns Church), although for various reasons, I went to Bearsden Academy rather than Douglas. However, I left school long before you were born

My mum and dad still live close to Milngavie.

[MummyO3]

lol cool prettybird how long before you may know my mum or one of my aunts :) genevieve,leah,sharron,theresa o'donnell :)

[prettybird]

Nope - none of those names ring any bells :)

I left school in 1978

Mumsnet Christmas night out still open to anyone interested.

Details over here but essentially it will be on 4 December, in Edinburgh, venue still to be confirmed (but coelic friendly and close to a station for the Weegies and others coming from a distance); mid afternoon onwards, relatively quiet restaurant that will allow us to chat serves plenty of Prosecco tea, babies can come too.

There are already a few of us who will be meeting at Queen Street to go across.

Details and discussion on this thread

[MummyO3]

i was hoping to meet some people for the glasgow night out first but it seems to have crashed and burned lol

[deathjeff]

Looking forward to it :)

[prettybird]

Another wee reminder: looks like it is going to be the frist meet-up for a few people, so it will be nice to meet a few new faces :)

I promise I am not a hairy trucker and that I will shave my arms for the occasion

[prettybird]

Another reminder: there are still places :)

Go to the thread over here to gesiter your interest. :)
