Thanks for another great Bungo In The Back Lanes!

What an amazing day! Great stalls, activities and atmosphere. The weather wasn’t bad either! Thanks to all residents and local
businesses who set out their wares to create a day of fun and festivity for families friends and neighbours. The fantastic live music programme and contribution from Glasgow Sport really helped to make the day and keep people smiling. The visit to our event from our MSP and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon certainly generated a lot of smiles too – and selfies!!

Thanks for all the very positive feedback – we’ve really appreciated the posts and messages we’ve received telling us what a good day it was. As I’m sure you know, this event happens due to the good will, time commitment and hard work of a lot of people. It couldn’t happen without them – thanks to each and every one of them for helping to make Strathbungo the thriving strong community that it is.

DSC01784

With less than 5 days to go, stall-holders will soon be getting their wares together and residents counting their pennies to spend, as Bungo in the Back Lanes is happening this Saturday 20th June from 1-4pm.

Famous for its residents’ stalls selling everything from bric-a-brac and jewellery to homemade food and clothes, Bungo In The Back Lanes is bigger than ever and now takes place between Nithsdale Road and Thorncliffe Gardens. People are free to open up their garden or bring a table full of goods they’d like to sell down to the lanes on the day. It is always exciting to see what appears on the day – previous years have seen lemonade stalls, races and antiques in a shed plus many other intrepid ideas.

Other features to look out for this year include: Loch Fyne Seafood BBQ; NV Allotments plant sale; Babu Bombay Street Kitchen; Merry Go Round’s Childrens Garden with bouncy castle; face painting and games for children; Glad Café Garden; Then and Now In and Around Strathbungo Picture Show; Glasgow Sport’s activities for children; Bakery 47, Swedish Massage; Architectural Trail plus live music from local bands in each lane.

 

Spring Fling/Art Competition

Although the weather yesterday was rather dreich and dull, it didn’t dampen the upbeat atmosphere of the Spring Fling. All the wonderful art work on display from our budding artists would have brightened anyone’s day! Many thanks to the artists Avril Paton and Karen Cairns for presenting the prizes to the winners of the competition and for all their support of this event. Thanks also to all our stallholders who came along and added so much interest to the event.
This year we had a petting zoo, which was a big hit with children and adults alike – some of them even got close to the insects and snakes! Special thanks to all of you who helped to set up and run the event – we couldn’t have done it without you and all your efforts are much appreciated! Watch out for more on this in the next Newsletter.
