That sounds great - thanks for picking up the baton!
:thumbup:

And that's a DEFINITE from me please!

NB: Pabbers has deserted me for this tie so someone will need to make sure I make it back to the right hotel ...
:lol:

[RosieBear]

I DEFINITELY with-bells-on-nuclear-holocaust-won't-stop-me want to come, please. Ta gals. (Don't mind time).

[angiebabez]

I DEFINITELY with-bells-on-nuclear-holocaust-won't-stop-me want to come, please. Ta gals. (Don't mind time).

Just u rosie posie?

[Sallydaisy]

:oops:

Forgot to say a time. I'd prefer 7.30pm.

However ... remember that if the rubber goes to 5 sets AND there's any delay getting back to hotels that a bit of extra time is no bad thing to allow for getting changed and tarted up (i.e. putting on a clean top ...) for the evening.
So 8pm might be safer?

[RosieBear]

Just u rosie posie?

Just me - others are going to Lanark. Thx Ang.

[Murray rocks]

Me and 2 others Ang. Providing we get tickets of course. 8pm prob best? In case long match? Xx

[Caro]

Ditto what RB said for me and Gill please :shades: :big grin: Don't mind what time.

[exislander]

Me please, time whatever suits majority. Thanks.

[JAMES4578]

I'd also be interested,8pm might be better but will go with majority-thanks!

[29_adjacent]

Me please! Don't mind what time. :)

[JerryD]

Me and two others please, providing we get tickets :) 8 might be a better idea given Sally's reminder especially as our hotel is a little further out but don't mind really

[hfwardhouse]

Me plus Esther please and whatever time suits....

[Howdie65]

Me too please! Either time, happy to go with the majority. Thank you.

[Elizabeth]

Me and Elaine please - whatever time. Thanks Angie.

[pabbers]

That sounds great - thanks for picking up the baton!
:thumbup:

And that's a DEFINITE from me please!

NB: Pabbers has deserted me for this tie so someone will need to make sure I make it back to the right hotel ...
:lol:

:crying:

And please DO look after Sally for me..........I need her for the final..........:cauldron:

[ally]

Better add my name to this too, (and Anna). Time with majority vote.

[jeannie13]

Please put me down --sounds great!!:wino:

[tinawatt]

Great plan, count Andrew and I in. Plus my cousin, tickets depending of course.

Any time.
More excited now venue confirmed

[dizzypops]

Count me in - any time, any place! Many thanks for organising this.

[emjay1970]

Yes for me please! Plus one....

[Julie80]

Me please- just one. Don't mind the time. Thanks Angie for organising.

[lovetennis]

Count me in please.Really enjoyed the Birmingham meal, thanks for organising

[angiebabez]

Myself, matthew & gordon (for your spread sheet ally ;))

[supergran]

Yes please. Really enjoy the group meals. 8 o'clock might be a better time but not too bothered. Thanks Angie, Ally and Clare. :yak::wino::party::GBflag:

[WimbledonWestie]

Hi folks, thanks for all the replies so far. Angie, Ally and I have looked at a few venues which would be handy for trains, buses and the hotels you've all chosen. Not to mention looking out for your wallets as I'm sure the LTA will take a heft chunk. So at moment we are looking at Pizza Express in Queen St, 1min from George square to help you get your bearings. We will of course need to give them approximate numbers and they will also use this to charge us a deposit.

We realise folk may not wish to commit until they know if they have tickets but to ensure we can get the booking could we ask that....

You make your decision on the basis of having tickets (as we can reduce numbers easier than adding them) and let us know by next Thursday (11th) if you think you want to be included. That way we can make the booking based on a fairly likely number. Ally is adding us all to a spreadsheet as we post.

Many thanks and can't wait to see you all again.

[patlowe]

Oh yes please. Just me! Don't mind the time. Great chance to catch up and meet with everybody. Many thanks.

[patlowe]

Count me in please.Really enjoyed the Birmingham meal, thanks for organising
Glad you are going Kath. We can go back to hotel together!

[lovetennis]

Glad you are going Kath. We can go back to hotel together!

[angiebabez]

Would love to bring cardboard Andy again but im not dragging him about with me all night. If anyone has any suggestions or can help out feel free to offer ;)

[glenys]

Jan and I please

[JerryD]

Sounds great! i already confirmed earlier for me + 2 others. (The friends that came to Serbia) i love pizza express so even better lol. Thanks for organising this :) looking forward to it

[Jan62]

Jan and I please

Glenys means me 😉 Cos there is another Jan on here I think......

[glenys]

Glenys means me �� Cos there is another Jan on here I think......
They'll have known that :p LOL

[angiebabez]

Glenys means me �� Cos there is another Jan on here I think......

Ooh i knew who she meant!! ;) my rival leon stalker!!!

[WimbledonWestie]

Better to be safe than sorry, don't need anyone sitting on my lap lol.

[Jan]

Glenys means me �� Cos there is another Jan on here I think......
Guilty as charged!
Sadly I don't think I'll make Glasgow - have just investigated cost of travel/accommodation etc and can't really afford it.

[Joyce]

Sounds great. Thanks for organising. Please add 2 definites (Jane & myself) to your spreadsheet. (Assuming we get tickets!) Happy with any time, any place - but liking Pizza Express idea.

[JimmyG]

Please add me for this, either time is fine.

[MurrayAOne]

Thanks Ange, Westie and Ally! We definitely would like to come to the meal. (Peter and me). Really looking forward to seeing everyone! ☺

[roytennisfan]

Would love to go Angie, sorry I couldn't manage the Birmingham one cos i was day tripping. Will there be 2 cardboard cutouts this time, the Andy one accompanied by a new Leon one?

[angiebabez]

Waiting for you to make me a leon one roy as i cant seem to source one ;)

[Stell]

You can count me in. I think I can leave the car in Carlton Place, which isn't far from Queen Street (otherwise it would mean a bus ride).

[Caro]

Would love to bring cardboard Andy again but im not dragging him about with me all night. If anyone has any suggestions or can help out feel free to offer ;)
If the restaurant is one near George Square, cardboard Andy can be left in our room at PI (in the morning before the tennis) and I'll bring him with me to the restaurant.

Thanks m8 but the problem really isnt getting him there (gordon could probably bring him in) its what to do with him after meal as i wont be going straight home after, i live only 10 mins from arena so i wouldnt be anywhere near your hotel on the sunday to pick him up :eek:

[supergran]

Well how about if I look after him, take him home and bring him back for final? I could chat to him which would be probably more satisfying and enjoyable than talking to cardboard Alan....oops mean quiet Alan.::laugh::rolling::big grin::getcoat:

[WimbledonWestie]

That made me laugh.

[ally]

:lol:Supergran, you are awful, but we love you.:lol:

[dizzypops]

Then there are the downsides. Cardboard Andy does have mobility issues - he's a bit unsteady on his legs, might find the stairs challenging etc. Would need a lot of TLC!

[supergran]

I'm used to mobility issues. We have a stairlift. He would get a LOT of TLC.:boogie:;)

[WimbledonWestie]

I bet he would!

[glenys]

Anyone wanna make me a cardboard Wardy?

Not sure i'd get him on the Easyjet flight mind! LOL

[roytennisfan]

Anyone wanna make me a cardboard Wardy?

Not sure i'd get him on the Easyjet flight mind! LOL

I thought all you ladies had agreed on a cardboard Leon next

[glenys]

They can have Leon! Wardy is MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! ;)

[Caro]

I want a cardboard Evo then .... :laugh::laugh:
Sorry, this meant to be a serious meal thread .... :laugh::laugh:

[angiebabez]

The transportation of cardboard andy to & from group meal is sorted!!! He will make a special appearance at approx 7-30pm!!!

[JerryD]

I would like a cardboard Matt little. He's so funny like a team mascot. I've spoke to him at two Davis cup ties, the wtf and queens and he's so happy and excited about tennis.

Anyway Serious meal stuff we will be there lol with or without Matt

[ally]

Listen, you lot, I am not taking seat bookings for cardboard cut-outs! Now if it was the real thing, that's a totally different matter, lol.:big grin:

[anna-rush]

I think you've already got me on the list - count me in!!

[Murray rocks]

The transportation of cardboard andy to & from group meal is sorted!!! He will make a special appearance at approx 7-30pm!!!

Good it wouldn't be right to leave him out. Hehe x

You missed your chance in Ghent. Will never forget that tram journey on the Sunday night with cardboard Wardy!!

[glenys]

You missed your chance in Ghent. Will never forget that tram journey on the Sunday night with cardboard Wardy!!

I know I saw the video! was so tempted to do it, but how the hell would I have got him on the plane! LOL

[roytennisfan]

I want a cardboard Evo then .... :laugh::laugh:
Sorry, this meant to be a serious meal thread .... :laugh::laugh:

Well at least he might be a bit smaller and easier to carry around, especially after a meal and drink!

[Guerkins2]

Thanks for organising the meal, but I will probably meeting my cousin who is hopefully coming across from Bute to see me :hug:

If it doesn't work, do you think you can squeeze me in? :cheers:

[supergran]

The transportation of cardboard andy to & from group meal is sorted!!! He will make a special appearance at approx 7-30pm!!!

And available for photographs I hope. Well done Angie.:thumbup:

[angiebabez]

And available for photographs I hope. Well done Angie.:thumbup:

Of course!

[JerryD]

Maybe it will be more flattering than my photo with the real thing from Ghent where I am a red faced mess lol

[angiebabez]

Maybe it will be more flattering than my photo with the real thing from Ghent where I am a red faced mess lol

I had a dodgy wig on & the hair net underneath had snapped & all my own hair had started to fall out from under wig ;) andy must av thought....shes a right state!!!

[JerryD]

Lol angiebabez glad it wasn't just me then. Though he did take my phone off me whilst saying 'wrong way' and do it for me. Only to reveal the sticker of him on it from the world tour finals :( oh dear

[Hawkeye]

Hope it's not too late to go for me+1.

[ally]

Aye somebody at the coos tail! No probs, you are on the list.;)

[WimbledonWestie]

Yikes SG - I've deleted that post after Angie updated me again - more info to follow but basically hoping to find away to avoid having to individually collect deposits. More info to follow.

[angiebabez]

Mo can u delete ur post also to avoid confusion x

[patlowe]

Yikes SG - I've deleted that post after Angie updated me again - more info to follow but basically hoping to find away to avoid having to individually collect deposits. More info to follow.
Ah! I was looking for your original post so I could thank you! All clear now! Thank you anyway for all the effort! :thanks: Really looking forward to it.

[Joyce]

Thanks so much for organising/paying deposits - & keeping us posted! X

[cazza99]

I have deleted Mo's post as requested above as it quotes WimbledonWestie's deleted post. Hope that is OK Mo. But Mo said


Thanks for info. That is very kind of Angie so thanks to her as well

[supergran]

Sorry didn't see request to delete. A bit busy. Thanks Cazza and ok WWestie.

[WimbledonWestie]

We shall keep you all posted, all is well, we're just ironing out fine details.

[WimbledonWestie]

Hi folks,
Update on our meal.
Firstly, we have changed the venue to Di Maggios Royal Exchange Square (8pm) - both venues required a deposit of £5 per head (£235) but Di Maggios will pay it directly back to Angie once bill is settled, whereas at Pizza Exoress we would have had to be collecting it from everyone individually which would be a hassle. Anyway it's a lovely restaurant and very central, very close to station and your hotels. And we are sure Cardboard Andy will get a warm welcome!

We are on the set large group menu - £15.95 for 2 courses, £18.95 for 3 courses.You can have a look here.

http://www.dimaggios.co.uk/royal_exchange_square

If anyone drops out can you please make sure you pay Angie your deposit - preferably at Saturday's match- as its non refundable and we need to be sure she's not left out of pocket.

As in Birmingham each table will settle their own bill.

Look forward to seeing you all!

[angiebabez]

Thanks Clare :thumbup:

[patlowe]

That looks wonderful. Can't wait. Thank you to all concerned for sorting this out. :thanks:

[lovetennis]

Menu looks super lovely and very good value. Thanks again for organising, really looking forward to it and to seeing Cardboard Andy again

[RosieBear]

Looks good, thanks girls :thanks: - love Italian, but won't try and order the 'Pageone' from the menu this time, realise now it says page one :laugh:

[Murray rocks]

Looks nice. Thanks for sorting. When do we have to pay deposits? X

[WimbledonWestie]

Angie has paid it and will get it back from restaurant once we've all paid our bills on the night. You only need to any a deposit if u drop out of the meal- and we ain't allowing u to do that! :laugh:

[supergran]

Love the menu. Thanks again.

[Murray rocks]

Angie has paid it and will get it back from restaurant once we've all paid our bills on the night. You only need to any a deposit if u drop out of the meal- and we ain't allowing u to do that! :laugh:

Lol don't worry I won't be doing that. Looking forward to it xx

[Howdie65]

Thank you both for organising this. Menu looks lovely. Looking forward it!! X

[JerryD]

Thanks for organising this guys I can't wait. Hope you still have the three of us on the list. I put my name down ages ago but I'm a nervous nelly who hadn't been on the forum for a number of days whilst on holiday. The restaurant and menu sounds nice :)

[ally]

Don't worry, you are on the list x3.:thumbup:

[JerryD]

Thanks ally :) :)

[emjay1970]

Hi guys. So sorry for the late response but if there's room for one more could you add me? I didn't reply earlier as I was waiting to see if a friend of mine was coming along and now he's not. No worries either way but if you can squeeze me in that would be lovely.

Mark x

[Teresa]

I hope you all have a great time. I haven't signed up as a) I need to get back to Edinburgh that night b) I haven't got a hope in hell of hearing much in such a big group, and c) I have never functioned well in big groups ie I am a complete social wuss. Given all the things I have got on between now and then I can predict fairly accurately I am going to be incredibly tired (Rheumatoid Arthritis is a complete pain in the nether regions), - at which point I do a credible impression of a fractious two year old. Not a pretty sight.....!!!

[angiebabez]

Yeah that should be ok mark i will contact restaurant add one more on.

[Jan62]

Thanks for organising Angie and Clare. Looking forward to it, and the chance to actually speak to some more members of the group - at the tennis there's never time! And looking forward to Cardboard Andy joining us again.

Angie - how are you getting on finding Cardboard Leon?????

Cant source one anywhere :( was hoping some clever cookie on here would make me one ;)

My plus 1 might not make it now but I will be there so will make sure Angie is reimbursed!

Hiya, I had you down for 2 places as per your earlier post in this thread.

[emjay1970]

Hiya, I had you down for 2 places as per your earlier post in this thread.
So sorry Ally. I must be getting very forgetful. Was sure I hadn't asked... I've been doing intensive driving lessons and I think it's making me a bit crazy....

Only me now if that's okay.

[emjay1970]

Yeah that should be ok mark i will contact restaurant add one more on.

Thanks Angie. And apologies for my memory...

[ally]

So sorry Ally. I must be getting very forgetful. Was sure I hadn't asked... I've been doing intensive driving lessons and I think it's making me a bit crazy....

Only me now if that's okay.

That's no problem. I was updating the list on a regular basis on the thread, cos if I don't, that's when I get tied up in knots - me and numbers don't really add up!!!

Hope the driving lessons have done the trick, and if you are due your test, GOOD LUCK.

[tinawatt]

Hi, sorry sorry sorry. Did I have me plus one or two.

I need me plus two, hope that's ok.

Not long now, woo hoo !!

[ally]

Hi, sorry sorry sorry. Did I have me plus one or two.

I need me plus two, hope that's ok.

Not long now, woo hoo !!


Don't panic. I have you, +2. Total of 3 seats. :thumbup:

[tinawatt]

Thanks Ally, that's great

[KevD]

You already have me the list as one-off jerryd's guests but looking forward to meeting you all and some off folks from Serbia

[angiebabez]

Ok folks ive an extremely busy week coming up next week so while ive got time just a reminder that 46 of us are booked into Di Maggios, Royal Exchange Square at 8pm next Saturday for dinner. Preferably can you be in & seated 5 or 10 minutes b4. We have the downstairs area booked, as in Birmingham each table just sorts their own bill. See ya soon.

Ang xx

http://www.dimaggios.co.uk/royal_exchange_square

[JerryD]

Fantastic. Thanks ang xx

[jeannie13]

The meal sounds great!!! A get together is great to get to
know more folks. I'll need to take a taxi there from the hotel there & back. Anyone interested in sharing?
I'm in the PI (George SQU). How far away is Exchange Square?

[WimbledonWestie]

About 1minute! Seriously! Maybe 2. From PI walk diagonally across the square onto Queen St- walk down to where the gallery of modern art is- you can't miss the statue with a traffic cone on its head. Turn right walking towards back of the gallery, you are in exchange place and you will see Di Maggios, it's just beyond the back of the museum and Ziizzis, it's on the left beside cafe Rogano

[JerryD]

We are staying just outside Glasgow so will be driving in for the meal. Hunting for parking near the restaurant. If anyone has any parking suggestions, they'd be appreciated.

I'm very lame-sounds like 10 minutes for me!!! Which Square do I walk diagonally across? I'll need to walk with a group of slow walkers!!:thanks: Westie

[WimbledonWestie]

Sorry, it's George square you walk diagonally across then it's a very short walk to exchange square. You can also walk straight from PI towards queen st along top of George square and walk down queen st to the art gallery.

[roytennisfan]

Looking forward to meal, missed Birmingham cos i didn't stay Saturday and had booked train back home (and another return on Sunday, of course)

[WimbledonWestie]

Weather forecast is ever changing- at moment the only rain forecast is for Thursday late evening and for a short time on Sunday morning. However the only way to forecast our weather accurately is to step outside and see what's happening. Forecast has probably changed as I type this.

Thanks Angie, me and Jerry are still waiting for the cocktails to wear off haha
It was great to see you all last night :) a brilliant new tradition

[WimbledonWestie]

Glad everyone enjoyed the night- still some folks I need to say hello to, was a lovely evening. Thanks to all who came.

[JerryD]

It was a fantastic night! Thanks again to Angie and Ally for arranging everything. It was a great opportunity to actually chat which, which you can't really do at the tennis :)

My cocktails wore off just fine thank you yellowlivi lol :) :)

[KevD]

I had Great night. Good opportunity to put names to faces and catch up with people for Serbia.

Big thanks to Angie and Ali for arranging it.

[jagmad]

I have to apologise for not being in the downstairs room with you all but we was there
and came down to see you all it was a Fab atmosphere. Sally introduced us to a lot of you
inc Andy, LOL but again I must apologise as I am terrible with names.
It's the growing old you know.

C'mon GB:GBflag::swingin::GBflag:

[hfwardhouse]

Fab night. Thanks again for organising it Angie, Ally and WW!

[roytennisfan]

A wonderful time thanks to all involved especially angiebabez for arranging and ally ww and everyone else, a great group of people, also enjoyed the drinks after the meal. Glad everyone seemed fully recovered by the time the tennis started.

[emjay1970]

Thanks for a great night everyone. Had a blast!

"Andy, cardboard Andy, cardboard Andy.......!"

[roytennisfan]

Thanks for a great night everyone. Had a blast!

"Andy, cardboard Andy, cardboard Andy.......!"

You know Andy was refused entrance to a bar and he was the only one who hadn't had a drop of alcohol

[lovetennis]

Really enjoyed the meal and it was lovely to meet the "real"people behind the forum names. Thanks so much for organising, having a get together really added to the whole weekend

[JerryD]

You know Andy was refused entrance to a bar and he was the only one who hadn't had a drop of alcohol

The door guys did keep him safe though. They obviously thought he'd cause a scene.

[Murray rocks]

Fantastic meal Saturday really enjoyed it. Always love all getting together on the Saturday nights x

[Stell]

When I left, there were a policeman and policewoman standing outside. I didn't let on about the amount of red wine, I'd drunk, or the drive back to the hotel. I managed to get back safely. I did eat, eventually, the rest of my pizza.

[glenys]

I will forever remember that night! walking through the streets of Glasgow carrying Cardboard Andy (yes I was given Andy to carry!) and the few of us singing the Andy song - and the people we walked passed trying not to oogle,laugh,etc. the number of confused faces was hysterical

And why was there a traffic cone on the head of the guy on the horse statue?

[Alis]

And why was there a traffic cone on the head of the guy on the horse statue?

............ because it's Glasgow!

Your post reads as if you drank a lot of red wine, then drove back to the hotel. Hopefully just phrased ambiguously.

[KevD]

Thanks to Angie, Ali and WW for setting this up. I enjoyed meeting new people and catching up with folks from Serbia.
Great choice of restaurant, loved it.

I look forward to seeing you all again next time
