Hey Birlers! Just to let you all know we raised an enormous £500 at the Bungo Birl!! Well done everyone and a huge THANK YOU!!

Those funds will go toward mince pies and mulled wine at this year’s Bungo at the Bells and to the other fab The Strathbungo Society events next year – a new one being The Bungo Games, especially to celebrate the Commonwealth Games. See the link below, please come and lend your support.

Anyhoo! Thanks again everyone and see you for a Birl next year!!

It’s less than a year until Glasgow hosts one of the biggest occasions in the sporting calendar.

The Commonwealth Games are coming to town!

The Strathbungo Society want to mark this huge occasion by hosting our own Games in our own streets. It’s a street party with races!

We want it to be YOUR games, so need YOUR help in deciding what we do on the day. We’re having a brainstorming session downstairs at The Bungo on Sunday 8th December, 4-5.30pm. What races would you like to take part in? Egg and spoon? Sack Race? Could we do syncronised apple bobbing? Or should we have more serious games, like the 100m, long jump. The choice is yours!

These games are for everyone. We’ve arranged the brainstorm for a Sunday afternoon, so that we can hear from children, grandparents and everyone in between.

We will be looking for members to be part of the organising group and volunteers on the day, but this is specifically a brainstorm to hear what you would like to do on the day.

ALL WELCOME!

Sunday 8th December, downstairs at The Bungo 4.00 – 5.30pm

What a great night! We hope everyone had a fab time. It would be good to hear your feedback on the night, good and bad so that we can improve for next year’s Bungo Birl. Please leave comments – it will be really helpful.

Leave photos if you want to. It would be good to see what everyone got up to!

Thanks again everyone!

Guess what…we are officially SOLD OUT!! Looking forward to seeing everyone Birling around!

The Bungo Birl are delighted to announce that the evening’s food will be provided by the fantastic Babu Bombay Street Kitchen! You will have seen their stall at the Farmer’s Market in Queen’s Park and now they have a fab little cafe in town. They’re based in Strathbungo, so it’s great to keep it local and we’re all looking forward to tasty street food. Only 10 adult tickets left people…..Nom nom nom!

I’ve heard that the care home on Titwood Road may be closing next year. Anyone know if this is correct and what the council are going to do with the site?

A concerned neighbour flagged it up.

We’re looking for donations for the raffle please!

And we’re looking for donations which are a bit special.

As well as the usual bottles etc. (all very gratefully received), we’re looking for the donations of time from the very talented Strathbungo people!

Do you have a skill we could raffle? For example, we already have a music lesson, a weekend away and an IT Healthcheck to raffle and we’re looking for more of that ilk.

Are you a dressmaker who could raffle some time to make a simple outfit for someone? Are you an animal portrait artist who could raffle some time to sketch a loved pet?

Are you a gardener who could raffle some time to do a bit of a tidy up in time for winter?

You get it now!!

OR

Do you have something vintage in fab condition you no longer love that you could donate?

Or any photographers/artists/sculptors out there who could donate a framed picture or piece of art?

Anything really.

All donations will be considered!

Thanks in anticipation
