Corv99 2 Posted November 23, 2011 @Del & Opus. Methinks you need to invite plenty of Big Egi owners, Del - at least then you'll have some decent weaponry on hand could always carry one of Toro's Graham watches in a sock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richardm1142 0 Posted November 23, 2011 Okay so someone is going to book the back room of The Giblet, but would our colonial cousins be ready for Mr Nesbitt and Mr Cotter to be our hosts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted November 23, 2011 The Giblet is far too salubrious. I believe Del is scoping out The Royal Oak in Nitshill and the The Morvern Bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,532 Posted November 23, 2011 Hi folks, I've been speaking with Aston and Onionbag about some possible venues for the GTG and I'd like to share my thoughts so far. As I've said already, it's Derby Day in Glasgow (i.e. Celtic and Rangers are playing in the evening) and the city can go a bit crazy when these two teams get together. So, I think we should consider meeting somewhere in Shawlands on the south side of the city - for those of you who don't know Glasgow, it is a very popular area outwith the city centre for nights out and has a plethora of restaurants and bars, and also a night club or two if that's your thing. It's also quite easy to get to from the city centre by taxi, train or bus. And it is unlikely to get just as crazy as the city centre might once the match has finished, although I cannot guarantee that! However, if our non-Weggies will be disappointed that they are not in Glasgow city centre proper then please say so and we will go there instead. I'm going to look at the following two venues that appear to be able to provide some kind of private dining/function area at no extra cost. My idea is that we meet here at say 5pm for introductions and drinks, then have some food in the same place. Depending on how we are enjoying the place we can stay or we can move to another pub nearby (there are literally dozens to choose from) either to catch some of the match on TV (and watch the mighty Gers beating that other lot ) or we can avoid the "football pubs" and choose another one, e.g. The Granary, Tusk, Linen, Stube, etc....) Anyway, first place to consider is The Waverley Tea Room - link. The second place to consider is The Social Animal - link. Comments welcome - I want everybody to enjoy this GTG so if this is "shite" then please say so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted November 23, 2011 Both of those are great venues..The Waverley has great food and The Social ......it's got a quiz on!!! How good is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted November 23, 2011 You guys will have a GREAT time at a GTG. I would really encourage any member who can make it to go. Glasgow would be fun! Take the time and get yourselves to the GTG. We had a great time at the East Coast GTG...special thanks to GHR and Dendo. Arranging and coordinating these GTG's is a lot of work. Get yourself to a GTG...You will see beautiful watches and meet the members. ;) Try it, you'll like it ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted November 23, 2011 Both venues are fine by me. Shawlands is great also - good choice given that the big game is on. Guess it must be at Parkhead or you would be there Del Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,532 Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks Onionbag and Dendo for the feedback on the venues. And yes, the game's at Parkhead! @ Aren - thanks for the encouragement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiquita Fanjita 1,805 Posted November 24, 2011 I'm more than happy with the Sou'side, and I know my way around Shawlands very well so can be tour guide Think staying away from the centre of town or the east end is a sensible idea on derby day, especially after Del's had a few sweet sherries and starts singing his Rangers songs Try it, you'll like it ! Aren, does this usually mean that boobies are involved in a GTG? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
