Talking Ugsas Reunion 3 October 2009

As reunions of 80's bands seem to be all the rage right now we thought the time was right for an UGSAS 80's reunion. The date is 3 Oct 09, the rough format is a curry at about 1830 followed by a few small libations in Park Circus, just like a Town Night but without the guest speakers or classes!

If you were at UGSAS during the 80's please PM me, and I will send you details.
Numbers will be limited to 80 people, and it will be first come first served. There will be a deposit of 20 pounds required, in order to pre book the curryhouse, and there will be additional costs for Bar Staff etc. I will contact the lucky 77 with details of how and when to pay. Please do not delay in replying as we want to get things sorted out in good time.

OC UGSAS is on board and Angela also knows about it, so if you are suspicious you can confirm the date with UGSAS direct.

I should make it clear that this is an event being organised by some ex-Ugsas members , and not by the Sqn itself.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Sorry Folks, I should have said that the list will close in the 2nd week of July, so get your diaries out and block off the time soon!

Good response so far, it is shaping up to be a good night. One of the guys is putting together a slide show of old photos, if you have any let me know and I will put you in touch with him.

Old'n'bald,
Fantasic idea and certainly you can count me in. Hopefully we can get a good response to this one as it promises to be a good night.
I have already forwarded a few old pictures to 'Dobbin'. If anyone has an old photos of the 'golden years' at UGSAS then I am sure O'n'B can give you an e-mail to send these photos to.

Does anyone know of the whereabouts of Dave "The Bat" Gallie?
The address I have for him is no good.
Thanks

UGSAS Reunion

Come on Guys and Girls, the rate of replies is slowing down and we still need a few more to make the event viable.
There are some good deals on Hotels near Park Circus, so the cost should be affordable even in these straightened times!

waiting in anticipation.......

Have a great night guys. Very much regret that I'll be on honeymoon and won't be able to make it. Damn. Would have brought the penny whsitles too for the inevitable reincarnation of the UGSAS Folkers!

Mind you, should be able to scan a few old pics and send them in to contribute to the evening.

If anyone wants to get in touch, drop me a PM for details.

Regards

NB

NB,
Have you told Mrs NB-to-be that you "Very much regret that I'll be on honeymoon and won't be able to make it. Damn"? She must be very understanding!!

Mmmmm-not the best choice/order of words there; it's been a long time since ISS! Let's reword it:

Naturally, I'm genuinely pissed off at not making it BUT of course delighted instead to be luxuriating with the soon-to-be Mrs B in an exotic location a long way from Glasgow. Anyway, the new issue of pink chits won't be valid until I get back!

NB,
Sorry to hear you will not be there for the curry, beers and old lamp swinging but you have a passable excuse!

Sounds a pretty weak excuse to me! still, I suppose we will manage without you, although your penny whistle will be missed!

Well, if Betty is going, I'd better put my name down too - if only to look after her. You all know what she's like!
