Hi All
Inspired by others who have hosted do's in Gibraltar , Leeds, London, Phoenix and other far flung locations I have decided with the help of JCM9000 and a few others to set up a do here in my hometown of Glasgow.
Venue
Venue has been confirmed!!
Bar Square in Glasgow Merchant Square
5 Bell St, Glasgow G1 1NU
Venue is a large courtyard style bar with good beer, gin & spirits selection and for those looking for bubbles they also have Moet & Bollinger BUT more importantly all at Glasgow prices :-)
Merchant Square is an excellent central location and an excellent starting point with lots of other food and drink options nearby, the bar itself also has a decent food selection
Venue has been booked and look forward to seeing you all there :-)
Transport
For those flying up there is plenty of flights from LHR, LGW and if you fly the night before LCY also.
Edinburgh airport is also an hour by a very frequent bus service from door to Glasgow City Centre if it helps with availability.- There is no train from Glasgow Airport to the city centre however there is a bus every 10 minutes which takes 15 minutes into the city centre at a cost of £14 open return,
- For those not flying Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street are the closest train stations and are quite well served.
- Airport Taxi is £25 from an airport Taxi Rank
- Private Hire is £13 from the pickup point at the airport
- Uber is available
- Anyone wanting to try something different the Caledonia Sleeper train runs into Glasgow from London Euston Friday into Saturday and home Sunday into Monday.
