Bungo in the Back Lanes… It’s back, this Saturday June 17th, and better than ever!
To make sure that we make best use of the space in the lanes, we’re asking that folk could move vehicles out of the lanes, just for the day.
So, if your property backs on to the lanes, can you help by moving your car / van / etc out of the lane for the day please?
Thank you!
Are you planning on having a stall in your garden or lane on Saturday?
Please ensure that you have adequate signage for your stall on the day, especially if you are tucked away in a garden. This helps us to keep people moving but – more important – helps them to find you so that you can earn more money in sales!
Running this event takes a fair bit of work so we’re asking if there are any folk who would like to help out, especially on the day (June 17 this year), although there is some preparation work as well:
- help by putting posters up around the area (and taking them down)
- help to make sure the lanes are free of rubbish and hazards
- help by moving your car / van / camper / trailer / etc out of the lanes on the day (June 17)
- help to set up and take down on the day
- help to steward the lanes on the day
- help on one of the stalls on the day
For more on what’s needed and how to volunteer, check our Volunteers page.
THE MUST-VISIT EVENT !
The Southside’s biggest residents’ lanes event is being held this coming Saturday, 17th June from 1-4pm.
This year will see the return of music, bars, tombola, food, children’s play area and much more.You can see the map of what will be where here.
For information about volunteering or hosting a stall, please email bitbl@strathbungo.co.uk.
A BIG THANK YOU from The Strathbungo Society to everyone who contributed to making Bungo in the Back Lanes, 2016 such a great success.
We were lucky with the weather and with our local MSP, Nicola Sturgeon, who not only officially “opened” our event – she cut the golden ribbon – but stayed on to talk and chat to folks and stall holders and also made a few wee purchases into the bargain. Other elected representatives were also spotted – as were their tweets and re-tweets.
This year we had new volunteers, including from the Scouts and Harvest Bible, who joined Society volunteers to set up and take down the event; erecting tables and gazebos to placing chairs and signage and collecting donations from stall holders.
Thanks also to all who donated to the Society’s bottle and tombola stalls. The income from these, plus donations from stall holders, is what largely funds Bungo in the Back Lanes, plus a grant from Glasgow City Council to cover the hire of tables, chairs etc.
What makes Bungo in the Back Lanes a great bottom-up, community-organised event are all the people who open up their lanes and gardens to celebrate the creativity, community and fun of living in Strathbungo. It’s their enthusiasm that makes it the best community event in Glasgow – bar none – and the original Southside event.
Only a few days to go until the Southside’s favourite one-day festival gets underway. See below for what to expect at this year’s Bungo in the Back Lanes. Though, what with it being a DIY affair, we won’t know all the delights on offer until the actual day, so you’ll have to come down and see!
