Loquax meeting

Booked a day of work today to go along to the Scottish annual Loquax meeting. The meeting was held in Glasgow, so daughter and I car shared and toddled of up to meet fellow compers and to put names to faces and share some stories of wins and other non comping stuff.

Unfortunately some people had to call off for various reasons and there were only 7 of us there, a bit disappointing but non the less still a pleasant afternoon. The food was very well presented in the Thistle Hotel Glasgow even if (imo) a tad on the expensive side for what it was, the service was good and the surroundings clean and comfortable, but very nice,central and easy to get to.

We all took a raffle prize up with us, and all came back with something different. I took up a Gok Wan work your wardrobe book and popped 2 lucky dip lottery tickets into the bag as well. I can back with a cafetiere and some ground coffee, some postcards,a book of first class stamps and a box of celebrations.
