Bungo Clean Up

6th November 2024 / / 2 Comments

As someone who has his own pick up stick to clear litter from the area around the bins at the bottom of the QS/RPS back lane I would love to join the Bungo Clean Ups that you organise. However, it always happens 11-1 on Sunday, which is just when I am in church! Could you vary the times a bit, so I can both help clean up Strathbungo and worship? Cleanliness is next to godliness!

Strathbungo Society AGM 2024

25th October 2024 / / 1 Comment

The AGM of the Strathbungo Society will be on Tuesday 12th November. The event is again in Queens Park Church of Scotland over on Queens Drive, and will begin at 7.30pm. Doors will be open from 7.15pm, with tea and coffee available beforehand and wine afterwards.  Do come and meet fellow residents of the area.

The principal business of the evening will be the Society’s report and accounts for the year. We will also welcome speakers from the Queen’s Park Neighbourhood Plan.

As noted in our last newsletter, this is a collaborative initiative by the neighbouring Community Councils for Shawlands & Strathbungo and Langside, Camphill & Battlefield that kicked off its work in May 2024, and you can hear of public consultation and survey results and progress to date..

Society Documents here:

We are always looking for new blood on the committee. Every community organisation needs to reflect the diversity of the people living in the area, and always needs a variety of different talents to make the machine work. We meet 10 times a year, in the den of The Bungo Bar on Nithsdale Road, and you can contribute as much or as little as you like, according to your interests and skills. Beyond committee work, we also need volunteers to take part in Bungo Cleanups, to help organise local events like Bungo in the Back Lanes, or even introduce new ideas for other events. Have you any time that you can give to your local community? Have you new ideas, but need some help to get them going?

The Society is only as strong as those who contribute, so it needs your support.

Please contact us for further information, before, during or after the event.

Brighter Bungo is back

29th May 2024 / / 0 Comments

Bungo in the Back Lanes will be on 22nd June this year. Can you help us get ready?

Please do your bit to ensure the lanes are in good nick for the event by coming along for a half hour on Sunday 2nd June between 11 and 1. Litter pickers, bin bags and high viz vests will be available outside the former Zinfandel on Nithsdale Road. Hope to see you there, but if you can’t make it could you have a look at your own stretch and spruce it up for the occasion?

Makers Market

Also, the Makers Market returns to BITBL this year in the lane between Marywood Square and Vennard Gardens, after being a great success last year. If you’re a local craftsperson and would like to sell your products on the day, please email Nicola at soapetc@btinternet.com or DM her on Facebook at @bungosoapetc to apply.

Window Wanderland is back!

30th January 2024 / / 0 Comments

We are thrilled to announce the return of Window Wanderland to the streets of Strathbungo on 24 February 2024. This beloved community event transforms the neighbourhood into an outdoor art gallery for one magical night.

Window Wanderland showcases the community’s incredible creative spirit and talent, filling the streets with families, friends, and art lovers as they wander about admiring the creative window displays. The event provides a platform for residents to express themselves, whether young or old, artistic or not, and share their creativity with their neighbours and spectators.

But the magic of Window Wanderland doesn’t happen in isolation; now is your chance to get involved! No matter your skills or experience, start brainstorming how to transform your windows into a work of art for the community to enjoy this February.

Join our Workshop!

Not sure where to start? We plan to host a collaborative creative workshop on 10 February from 2-4 pm to help spark your imagination, encouraging seasoned veterans and event newbies to share ideas and window decorating techniques.

Volunteering is a great way to meet neighbours if you’re a budding artist. Come along to The Point, Queens Drive on 10 February and lend your talents to help others create eye-catching windows. To get involved, express your interest by emailing: bungo.windowwanderland@gmail.com.

Window Wanderland, Saturday 24 February, 6pm-9pm.

Bungo in the Back Lanes 2023

4th June 2023 / / 0 Comments

Only two weeks to go! What are you planning for Bungo in the Back Lanes this year?

Saturday 17th June 2023, 1pm-5pm.

There will be the famous society tombola and bottle stalls, residents’ stalls, two tea gardens, two bars, two live music venues, a children’s garden and a craft fair.

There’s plenty of guidance on the FAQ page, from setting up stalls, to food hygiene, to donations. But, please, no sale of alcohol, nor drinking of alcohol in the lanes – it’s illegal and may get us all in trouble.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers to help out for a bit on the day, setting up, taking down, running our stalls, etc. See the volunteers page for details.

We are also looking for donations to our tombola and bottle stalls. If you can contribute details for this year are as follows:

Tombola donatons welcome at 21 Regent Park Square – Harriet Steynor (07729 451917)
Bottle stall donations welcome at 53 Queen Square – Teresa Mooney
