Next Lunch  -  Wednesday 10 December 2025

 Guest Speaker  -  Baroness Ruth Davidson

The GROGS Christmas Lunch is always busy and very popular and never needs to be boosted to encourage attendance.  This year, the very mention of our Guest Speaker has excited an interest beyond our expectations.  Many people are aware of her political persona but few are aware that she is currently a Member of the Scottish Rugby Ltd. Board which is responsible for the ongoing management and operations of the Scottish Rugby Union, the workings of which were explained in October by John McGuigan, the Chief Executive, when he visited us.    On top of that, Ruth is a very witty and interesting speaker and we can hardly wait to welcome her!
​
GROGs are well advised to book up early when they receive the Notification of this event 
​
Usual Venue  -  Loks Bar and Restaurant at 11.30 for 12.30​​ 
​

                Welcome
               to the GROGS website

Here you’ll be able to learn everything you’ve always wanted to know about the Glasgow Rugby Old Geezers Society but were afraid to ask!
                                   .....................

The GROGS is a Club for Glasgow rugby's "senior" fraternity, which meets for lunch, and a drink perhaps, on the 2nd Wednesday of each month during the rugby season (Sept to Apr) to listen to guest speakers, meet old friends and indulge in some pleasant nostalgia.  The Lunch meetings are held at Loks Restaurant, Newlandsfield Road, Glasgow G43 2XU
All registered members will receive an e-mail reminder some time before each Lunch asking about their attendance intentions.  Anyone who doesn't receive these e-mails, or feels we don't have your correct e-mail address, should contact Brian Rigby at [email protected]
