Anybody fancy a drink in Glasgow on the 11th of December? One of our group has suggested a pub somewhere near the Nautical College - apparently they would allocate a room where some of you could play/sing if you wanted. Another option would be to stay more central and perhaps return to the Sir Edward Wylie(sp?). Has anybody any other ideas, suggested venues etc?
I don't suppose anybody would be interested in meeting at the Eggy in Skelmorlie or the Chartrom at Kip:)

All ideas welcomed from one and all.
 
I'm up for a drink in Glasgow. I can get there and back by public transport, which I can't do to Kip or Skelmorlie. I don't know of a pub near the Nauty college that I would drink in, but it is a long time since I was looking for drink in that area. I may have a teeny problem with that date (a significant other's birthday is near that time) but can probably get off the lead.
 
Thanks for breaking the ice Pete.
I am the peep who had suggested the pub at the Nautical college.
It is Sharkie's pub which is in the railway arches directly across the road from the entrance to the mosque and behind the Citizans theatre, we nip in there sometimes at lunch time from the college, and I had asked if it would be permissable to have a wee music session near the christmas which they had no problem with on any night except sat or sun.
It would be about 10 min in a taxi from central station and would be cheaper if a few of you meet there and shared a taxi out.
They have been having a Ceolteas night on mondays for the last 20-30 years.
They can also provide trays of sandwiches if pre ordered, but I wouldent suggest trying to sing with a mouthfull of tuna and sweetcorn :D
Why not have a show of hands for a prefference so we are all sailing on the same tack. I will go with the wake. :)
It would be great if you could make it Ken.

I'm up for it but I think I would prefer somewhere within walking distance of central stn. Sir Ed Wylie was a bit quiet last time but this time nearer xmas it might be a bit busier. The Bon Accord was good but it can be a bit crowded with a large group of us.

PS my guitar is laid up for Winter. :D
 
Couldn't make that weekend.

Can I put in a plea for the previous weekend, preferably the Sat the 5th.

Can't comment on choice of pub - walking distance of Central Station is good but then so is a private room.

Didn't make it last year but I wouldn't complain about a pub being too quiet but then again maybe I'm being a boring old fart!

The crew would like to come along too - any other females going? Did any turn up last year?

Will keep an eye on this thread and turn up if it suits.

Yes Ash, we had a couple of ladies in the company last year, I am sure we had Sgier and his wife, and there were another couple, forgotton their names.
Anywhere suits me, and not bothered about dates but obviously a date which suits most folk would be the best date.

At the moment the date is flexible I guess - whichever suits most.

Mrs C will be there as she was last time, when we also had Mrs Sgeir and another lady.

Perhaps somebody cleverer than me, and I accept that that means anybody, could put up a poll for the dates and/or venue?
 
Hi Pete

I would be up for something. To be selfish The Chartroom would suit me grand as some kind person could bundle me in a barrow and wheel me back to my boat.

If someone wanted bring their sleeping bag and stay over, may even get out next day for sail/motor. And I am sure I could have my arm twisted to open the ship's bar for a nightcap or two.

The w/e 4/6 Dec I am not available.

Apologies Pete, how could I have forgotten such a lovely lady.
Can you really get 25 people into a snappy?
Likewise the wk end 4/6 would not suit me either.

Glasgow swallie

I could make the 11th (but not the previous weekend). Like others, walking distance from a central Glasgow station would be preferable, but happy to try someplace new.
 
How about Oran Mor at the end of Byres road.....a brilliant place with 4 real ales and just a quick ride on the tube from Buchanan st to Hillhead. My watch had a good time in there the other evening and will def return!
 
I'm a DaveS clone, dinner dance the 4th renders me hors de combat on 5th..
Would prefer city centre, but anywhere is accessable by free bus! (eg. 118 for Oran)
 
One pub often overlooked is the one actually in Glasgow Central - not the one at ground level next to WH Smiths that used to be Coopers, but the other side on the first floor. Usually reasonably quiet, cheap food for those that want to eat. Just a thought to maximise beer time for those of us who will be on trains.
 
Oran More

I like the idea of real ales + close public transport. I've heard quite good reports of the OM, but not visited personally. Anyone know how busy is it likely to be?
 
Oran Mor in my view the best place to drink in Scotland!! A fab pub with great grub and always something interesting going on...its in the middle of student land so at times quiet busy but a place not to be missed! :-)
