Next Lunch  -  Wednesday 21 January 2026 **Please note change in date from 14 January!

 Guest Speaker  -  Gavin Scott (SRU)

Gavin Scott is quite literally steeped in rugby  -  as a club player (Harris Accies, Dundee HSFP, Currie RFC, Caledonia Reds RIP and Glasgow Warriors).  He represented Scotland A and, although called up for the first team, he failed to make an appearance.  In 2012 he was appointed National Team Manager and remained in that position until 2021.  From there he has been appointed as the current Director of Rugby Development for the SRU.  As though all that wasn't enough to qualify him as a GROGS speaker, our last Guest Speaker, the popular Baroness Ruth Davidson, gave him a glowing reference as to how important he is for Scottish rugby and wished there were 20 Gavin Scotts in the set-up.  That was without knowing he was our next scheduled speaker!  When told, she encouraged all those present to attend and be impressed!
​
Please book up early as we are expecting another good crowd at 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]
