We are delighted to announce the full range of prizes for lucky winners of the first ever Bungo Bake-Off to be announced on March 19th at the Spring Fling…..
For adults, the top prize is a voucher for lunch for two at Gusto and Relish, our wonderful local eatery, plus the fabulous opportunity to work with James and his team as guest baker and for your Bake-Off winning cake to be sold in Gusto and Relish – (James has kindly suggested that proceeds go to the Strathbungo Society, so that is a great prize for us too!).
Second prize comes courtesy of Rock and Rollers, our neighbourhood hair and beauty salon, who have given a voucher for a cut and blow dry plus some lovely hair products for the runner-up.
And for the third prize winner, our inspiring local social enterprise Locavore has donated a £10 voucher for their shop, and we also have an additional prize – a box of assorted flavoured coffee beans, mug and coaster.
And for the children’s competition, we are delighted that Gusto and Relish will give the top three prize-winners a complimentary milkshake. They will also receive selected baking-related equipment – such as cup cake cases, whisk, cake book – from the Strathbungo Society.
Thanks to Gusto and Relish, Rock and Rollers, and Locavore for their support of the Spring Fling and the Bungo Bake-Off. The Strathbungo Society is really grateful for your kindness.
Locavore has also kindly offered 10% of baking ingredients bought in the shop that will be used in baking your cake/s for the Bungo Bake-Off. Thanks very much!
So, we hope that has inspired everyone to get baking!
Following last month’s no show due to high winds, Weans in the Lanes is back with a vengeance this Sunday 6th March from 10am-12pm. As before, look out for bunting at the end of lanes to know which ones are taking part. Feel free to bring any toys, scooters, sticks, crayons etc along and enjoy the morning!
For all the budding Mary Berry’s out there, here are the guidelines for Strathbungo’s first ever Bungo Bake-Off taking place at the Spring Fling on Saturday 19th March.

In 2013 Domenico Del Priore’s (ex-owner / developer of Cookie and architect) proposed some ideas for the Nithsdale Road cul de sac which are pertinent to the Make your Mark community planning consultation. Its not all rhubarb, have a look! Nithsdale Road – Domenico Del Priore 2013
On Sunday afternoon a small group braved the rain showers and walked round the Nithsdale area and over to Kildrostan Street to share ideas for the Make your Mark consultation. As we walked around we also talked about the ideas that had been suggested on the facebook page. We have written this up for the Make your Mark Team Charrette Walkabout proposals 160224 This is the first word, not the last and we would welcome comments and other ideas. For any of the ideas to be progressed, there would need to be consultation with local residents and businesses and we know there will be other views but its a start.
The first of the Make your Mark public workshops start tomorrow, Housing and Community 11.30-3.30 and Facilities and Amenities 4pm-8pm both at 553 Shields Rd – both sessions are open to all on a drop-in basis
The Strathbungo Society’s annual Spring Fling is back on Saturday March 19th at the Queens Park Baptist Church, Queens Drive from 11am-2pm.
Alongside lots of craft stalls and workshops for kids, we will be launching the first ever Bungo Bake-Off! Enter your Spring themed cake into the competition and win the chance to be a star baker at Gusto and Relish. For more information email news@strathbungo.co.uk and keep checking back here for details.
BITBL 2016 will be held on Saturday 18th June. To help make the day a success a team of willing volunteers is needed to plan, organise and run the event.
If you are interested in getting involved, the first planning meeting for BITBL 2016 will be held at the Den, The Bungo on Tuesday 23rd February at 7.30pm.
If you unable to come along on the night and wish to volunteer please send an e-mail to rees_stephen@hotmail.co.uk to record your interest.
There will be a walkabout with planners and architects from the Make your Mark team on Sunday afternoon, around the Nithsdale Drive, Road and Street areas to consider questions like how could the open and public spaces pictured here be improved? We will meet outside Sammy Dow’s/Lebowski’s (time still to be confirmed but will announce here). You can add your ideas under comments or on The Strathbungo Society facebook page.
Programme of workshops 25th-27th February.
