"You'll be off at the Marlborough" - words to deter any young boy from damaging car upholstery or pinging a driver's ears.The Marlborough at the corner of Baker Street in Shawlands was of course the meeting point for Crusader activities for many years (possibly decades). Whether on Saturday morning for the trip to the Swimming Gala in Edinburgh, or at 6.30pm on Mondays and Thursdays for weekly activities, or Friday nights for the House Party - it was the Marlborough where Glasgow Southers would gather in eager anticipation and wait for the appearance of leaders cars and/or minibus. Cries of 'front seat' would ring through the air at any sighting of white Jags, RS2000s, Ford Capris or that shopping trolley contraption Jules used to drive about in.
