Glasgow Sling Meet: Sunday May 13th

Let's get organised for the next Glasgow Sling Meet:

Sunday May 13th 11am

If the weather is nice, we'll meet at the Kelvingrove Playground. If it rains, we'll meet at the Kelvingrove museum in the cafe at the entrance. There is a "Little Museum" which will keep the older kids entertained for hours as well as the elephant, the giraffe and all kind of surprises.

Hi all

Sorry no been about for ages -these days when I am online I am working or nakking (the joys of reverse cycling meaning I have ds attached all evening!)

I saw this post and we were planning on coming but it turns out it's likely my kids will either have or still be incubating chickenpox next Sunday so probably we'll not be there. However I hope it turns out well and I'd love to go to Kelvingrove so I hope future meets are planned there!

Hi Fiona

Sorry Anne, I won't be able to make it on Sunday, and I still have that ring sling to give back to you too! Promised a friend I'd support her in the Women's 10k on Sunday morning without realising it was the same day as the slingmeet, and it's Luca's 2nd birthday party in the afternoon too, so bit of a packed day!

The 10 June one sounds much more do-able for me, as I will be off on mat. leave then (though my due date has been brought forward to 20 June and I wouldn't be surprised if I was a bit earlier than that, so if I don't turn up at the June meet either you'll know why!).

Hope the sciatica is fading a wee bit ?*I do sympathise.

Hi Suzie, it would be great to see you, we can practice your back carries
Miriam, it will be lovely to see you again and meet little Ellie.

Should we meet inside at the cafe? the weather doesn't seem that great.

Hi all,
We probably won't make it this month I'm afraid. Dillie has yet another chest infection and is still under the weather and very, very grumpy with it.
Hope the weather improves and you can get out in the park. I have been cooped up so long now I have forgotten what the outside world looks like!

Sorry to hear about your little one, I hope he feels better soon and we can see you in June.
