Sandstone repairs

Hi,

We live in Marywood Square and have recently noticed some erosion to the sandstone on one of our window frames.

We are looking for any help in finding any good tradesmen in the area to give us a quote, or perhaps anyone in the area who has experienced this before and can give us any advice.

Thank you

Chris

Window cleaner problems

Does snyone know the name of the window cleaner that has been doing the windows in Marywood Square fro the last few years?

I live at number 4 and have been threatened with a busted jaw and broken windows after he turned up looking for money again after being told just over a week ago not to do my windows again.

I’d appreciate it if anyone in during the day could keep an eye out.

I have already informed the community police.

Flickr Group

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve started a Strathbungo group on Flickr, as one didn’t seem to exist.

http://www.flickr.com/groups/strathbungo/

I know there are loads of nice Bungo pics on Flickr and it’d be great to aggregate them.

If you use Flickr, I’d be happy to send you an invite to become a moderator. Even if you don’t, you can grab the code and embed slideshows etc for use on other sites (like this!)…if you fancy.

If you wanted to tell folk about it, hopefully we could grow the membership and number of pics.

Best Wishes,

Helen

Architecture and History of past residents

Ive been here for 4yrs now and Im interested to know more about Strathbungo. I hope Ive remembered this correctly, I believe a neighbour told me that priests? used to live in the building Im now in. I think she called them Volunteers of the Land? I read that this area also had mining works under it, is that right? Id basically just like to know more about all things Strathbungo and wondered if you know of the best sources of information.What undiscovered treasures & little known facts can I find out about? Thanks.

Lost watch

I don’t know if anyone can help but i was at bungo at the bells and lost a watch and was wondering if anyone handed it in. It would have been lost between the venue and 30 moray place and is of sentimental value so hope some kind person has found it and handed it to the organisers on the night..thanks for any response.

Collective buying and the cooking club

Hi and happy new year from Cookie.

Now we are over the Christmas and New Year rush and beginning the New Year. I am finally finding the time to get the other parts of the Cookie Idea off the ground and wanted to let the Strathbungo community know about them.

We will be opening the grocery section of our shop and hope to offer a selection of quality fruit and veg for sale. I have been approached by the Southside Food share to potentially hold their veg boxes and we would like to extend this idea to the residents of Strathbungo as a whole.

We believe in collective buying, it promotes community activity and makes quality products more affordable. Supports local activities and its economy.

We can offer this service also for olive oil and wine and we are olive oil producers and direct importers for wine from small producers.

We hope that people will be interested in this alternative form of supply and commerce.

Our cooking club will be held every Monday night and also potentially Sunday. Cookie on these nights is no longer a restaurant shop but becomes a club for those interested in eating and cooking collectively. This is motivated by our interest in community integration development.

The cooking club offer the opportunity for people to share their family traditions through one of its binding elements..food. It allows people to share and develop their knowledge. Even if you don’t know how to cook an egg you can come along and learn by association in a relaxed atmosphere.

Maxwell Park Station

Pollokshields Heritage has adopted Maxwell Park Station. As well as continuing to maintain planters on the station platform, PH has managed a transformation of the former booking-office room. The room is now available to the community for use as an exhibition space and/or meeting room. The room has electric heating and light laid on but, at present, there if no connection to mains water supply or sewer. That matter is being progressed! The room is available for a modest contribution to PH funds. Please contact PH member Karin Currie on 0141 427 0531 or karin_spalter@hotmail.com for further information.

Keeping the lanes clean – the weeds

Dear all,
Following the successful clean up of litter and flytipping from many of the lanes on 20th Sept, Brighter Bungo, together with the Strathbungo Society are keen to help reduce the amount of litter in the lanes by also keeping the weeds down. In order to do this efficiently, a petrol powered strimmer/brush cutter would be ideal for volunteers to use. If anyone has one they would be willing to donate or sell to us, we would be very keen to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Scott Mackay
Chair, The Strathbungo Society
