I am using the rather random route of London City- Edinburgh by plane, & train from Haymarket to Glasgow Central, flight times dep 0945 Saturday arrive 1100 & return 1045 Monday arrive 1205 staying at the ibis (etap). See you there :)


I"m flying from London City as well ... but with the non-random route of direct to Glasgow, and on the Friday   ;D

Well that"s awesomely awesome isn"t it.

I am arriving at 4:30pm sharp along with the hero, Asa. Taxi ride to hotel, will most likely need a shower after 5 hours on the train so good to go for about 5pm - 5:30pm. Is there a pub near our hotel as it does not seem to have a bar !!!!!!

What will be the best meeting place Grant? I will PM you my number so we can ensure everybody ends up in the same place on the day.

What time are other arriving?

Friday nighters, I may organise a wee home game for the select few. Only got one table and a small flat. lol.
You can only play pocket jacks 3 ways, all of which are wrong.

It's only a gambling problem if you are losing :D

So looking forward to this one - on a month"s poker embargo as the missus is already overdue on our first born. This will be my first game back. What is the player cap for this one at the Alea? Any details on side games?

Nice one ! Mine was subject to the restrictions or Avios (air miles) and the only flight I could get to Glasgow was late Friday night returning Monday night. It"s only an hour on the train and would have to get a train from Glasgow Airport anyway so not the end of the world. Have a safe journey and enjoy Friday night shame I will miss it  :(


No train station at Glasgow Airport  >:( unless it"s (Glasgow) Prestwick


Glasgow flyer,First Bus service 500 from Stance one at the airport will get you to Central Station in about 20-25 mins,it"s about a 10 min walk to Alea/Etap.
