ascot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'many meetings here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'one meets glaswegian for example' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'meets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'glaswegian for example' becomes 'Scot' (glaswegian is a kind of Scot).
'a'+'scot'='ASCOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Berks racecourse" , "Berkshire town, famous for horse racing" , "Where the Queen often sees racehorses" , "Where ladies wear new hats" , "somewhere in Berks" .)
