Hello. I'm trying to arrange a Canada Day Party in Glasgow. If there is enough interest it would be held at Bar Bacchus, on Glassford St in Glasgow. We're looking at getting some Moosehead in and putting Rye on special. There has been mention of poutine. Lot's of classic Canadian tunes that you never get to hear in the bars in Scotland. There is also a possibility of a shoot out contest or maybe even a bit of street hockey. If you or someone you know would like to go, PM me and I'll send you a link with more details, or simply join the Bacchus Glasgow facebook site and post your interest there. This hasn't been given the go ahead yet, but I'd like to see it happen.
Cheers, Hope to see you there. Alex Middleton

I used to work for Peckham's. They can get it. If you get a decent amount they'll give you a bit of a discount too. It's normally £1.99/bottle, but if you get a case or more they'll knock it down.

Sure. Sorry.

I'm not trying to be a spammer.

I haven't been home in quite a few years. I've come into a circumstance where I can host a Canada Day party, but I need to quickly gain interest or it won't happen.

It won't happen again,
Sorry,

Alex

I have been living in Glasgow for some time now, and this time of year is the only time I feel homesick. There are very few Canada celebrations outside of London, so let's start one here in Glasgow.

The party will be held at Bar Bacchus on Glassford St. in downtown Glasgow.

Moosehead and Labatts beer and Rye whiskey on offer. Maybe some poutine. There's even talk of a shootout competition. And of course, nothing but Canadian tunes all night long. Everything from RnB to Country. Celine to Choke.

This is a free event.

Doors are at 7pm and the party kicks off at 9pm with an introduction from a very special guest. Cheers and hope to see you there.
