Scottish Christmas Meet-up: Any takers?

The Scottish MNers are not always the most prolific at organising meet-ups, but we do usually manage to do so at Christmas.

In the absence of the normal suckers suspects who put their heads above the paprapet and volunteer to organise it, I thought I'd see if there was any interest :)

We've normally had it in Edinburgh - us Weegies seem happy to start the celebarations early on the train over Wink - but I'm open to suggestions.

A very good idea, but I'm not central belt so no can do.

Wish you all the best for organising it though.

FromGirders · 08/11/2011 11:22

I am! I had a nice time last year, it was fab to put some faces to names!
I'm particularly free on the 12th December, as both dcs are away on sleepovers and dh is off to a fortieth so please can we have it then so I don't have to be all sad and home-alone
The place we went last year was lovely, but I have no idea what it was called Confused

I can't promise to bring treats of the same quality as last time Blush

FromGirders · 08/11/2011 13:44

I meant the 10th Blush

I might manage it. Need to check the old diary when I'm back in work tomorrow. Sounds a nice idea!

AgentProvocateur · 08/11/2011 16:08

I could only do 10th if it was in Glasgow. My DS is in a concert at 7.30, so I could pop by for a drink later. Won't make it to Edi, though.

2blessed2bstressed · 08/11/2011 16:16

I'm in the frozen north, but my dsis is near Edinburgh......

prettybird · 08/11/2011 16:16

Oooooh - I had nearly given up on this :) .... although I was also going to try the Mumsnet Local boards for Glasgow and Edinburgh.

We went Whighams Wine Cellar last time - this year's menu I'd be happy to go there again - but if anyone who knows Edinburgh has any better suggestions, please speak up.

I'm happy to make the booking and pay the deposit, just as soon as we've firmed up on numbers and venue.

Looks like the 10th is a good date pretends to check non-existent social calendar Grin

Seems I have a reputation to uphold - haven't made my spanakopita and mini curry puffs yet for the festive season, but looks like I may have to make extra! :)

FromGirders · 08/11/2011 16:44

mmm, yummy menu

PacificDogwood · 08/11/2011 18:46

Mememememe, but NOT the 10th, nononononono (my work's night out - it is not The Done Thing to not appear Hmm).

I can bring goodies, liquid and otherwise, honest I can

If I cannot make it this year, hope you all have a nice evening Envy.
Unless there are others who cannot make the 10th ? We could do an Alternative Meet-up :-P

prettybird · 08/11/2011 18:49

How about the 3rd? Or the Friday night?

Love to come. Think I can make the 10th but not the 3rd !

trickydickie · 08/11/2011 19:48

Would have loved to but have a christmas night out all booked for that night. Sorry, hopefully make it next year.

PacificDogwood · 08/11/2011 20:37

3rd would work for me.
And the 17th.
And the 25th... oh wait, no, not that one Grin.

PamSco · 08/11/2011 23:02

There are quite a few Scottish MNers on the Nov ante-natal, we've met up previously. But those of us who haven't popped yet would struggle (well speaking for myself) in early Dec. Any other time though deffo be up for it.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 08/11/2011 23:33

Ooooh - count me in please, prettybird!! And I will sweet-talk dh into picking us up off the last train and dropping you home!

bethelbeth · 08/11/2011 23:43

Would be up for in Glasgow but can't rely upon thineself to get to the train on time in Edinbugger
